Nebraska Public Power District said Dec. 15 that there will be no overall average increase for wholesale and retail electric rates in 2018.
However, NPPD approved slight changes to monthly customer and energy charges related to its retail service to more accurately reflect the cost to serve individual customer classes. "Efforts to reduce costs and improve processes are paying off," Retail General Manager Tim Arlt said.
The wholesale rates will take effect on Feb. 1, 2018, while the retail effects will take effect on April 1, 2018.
