About OPPD Omaha Public Power District is a publicly owned electric utility that serves a population of 799,000 people, more than any other electric utility in the state.
Operating since 1946, the public utility is governed by an elected board of eight directors. While its headquar-ters is located in Omaha, Neb., OPPD has several other locations in its 13-county, 5,000-square-mile service area in southeast Nebraska.
The majority of OPPD's power comes from three baseload power facilities: North Omaha Station and Nebraska City Station, both coal-fired, and Fort Calhoun Station, a nuclear power unit. Additional energy comes from three peaking units and renewable energy resources, including wind turbines and a landfill-gas unit.
What separates a good utility company from a great utility company?
At OPPD, we believe there are essential elements. A great utility must be reliable, affordable, experienced, responsible and dedicated. We strive every day to encompass those elements in our plans, decisions and actions to continue making OPPD a great utility that customers can count on.
In terms of'reliability, OPPD successfully transitioned into the Southwest Power Pool Integrated Marketplace, changing how the utility markets and manages the eledricity it produces. The Integrated Marketplace means better use of generation and transmission on a broader regional basis. At the same time, we continde to move ahead on construction of the Nebraska portion of the Midwest Transmission Project, a 180-mile transmission line that will run from near Nebraska City to Sibley, Missouri. This project will alleviate congestion on We grid and enhance electrical reliability for customers throughout the region.
Along with reliability, providing affordable energy remains a vital part of our mission. A 1.6 percent average rate increase was implemented in January 2015 to help our financial position remain strong. Operating revenues in 2014 were $1.1 billion, with operating expenses of $1 billion. Historically low interest rates, coupled with OPPD's solid credit quality, allowed OPPD to refinance more than $300 million in outstanding bonds in 2014. These actions will result in substantial savings and help keep our customers' rates affordable.
In June, the Board of Directors approved a plan to significantly rebalance the future generation portfolio. Three of the oldest generating units at North Omaha Station will be retired in 2016. The remaining two North Omaha Station units and Nebraska City Station Unit 1 will be retrofitted with basic emission controls. The plan alsd includes reducing electrical demand by at least 300 megawatts by 2023 through customer participation in Demand-Side Management programs. This will involve a combination of new programs and the expansion of some existing programs. We believe this is the responsible thing to do moving forward, allowing us to reduce emissions and to comply with new federal environmental standards. Just as importantly, the Future Power-Generation Plan positions OPPD to remain one of the nation's industry leaders in its commitment to renewable energy.
These things are made possible because of the experience and dedication of all the hard-working men and women who make up OPPD. Their efforts allowed us to safely respond to numerous storms to ensure our customers' power was restored as quickly as possible. In addition, the dedicated efforts of employees allowed Fort Calhoun Station (FCS) to operate reliably in 2014 after its successful restart in late 2013. Attention now turns to the first FCS refueling outage since the 2011 flood, and that outage is scheduled for later this spring.
Our efforts have one overriding goal. That goal is to meet the needs of our customer-owners. We will continue to do all we can to provide affordable, reliable and environmentally sensitive energy services to our customers now and in the future. You can count on it.

More than three-quarters of a million people rely on OPPD for their electricity. That includes residential, business, commercial and industrial customers. Here, an office park in west Omaha lights up the night sky.
Substation Group Plays Key Role in System Reliability OPPD added three substations in 2014 to keep pace with development and ensure the utility can serve growing loads.
Substations serve as a gateway for power to transfer from the generator to the customer.
One new substation serves major loads at and around Offutt Air Force Base, including the new U.S. Strategic Command headquarters building that is under construc-tion. Another serves northwest Omaha, and a third, in La Vista, Neb., will serve a $200 million data center.
OPPD's Substation group of 101 skilled employees operate and maintain 130 substations across 13 coun-ties. Substations have an assortment of equipment to maintain, including transformers, switches, insulators, circuit breakers, lightning arrestors, and relaying and metering instruments.
Substations serve many purposes - from offering system operators flexibility to protecting parts from harsh weather or other problems.
Employees perform maintenance on a transformer at a substation that serves a growing suburban area.
Financial Analyst Helps Make Difference Larry Kaipust is among the many employees who works hard to keep costs down for ratepayers.
Recovering eligible insurance and federal funding following major storms and natural disasters is just part of Larry's role as a financial analyst in Asset Accounting & Tax Compliance. In the years following the historic flood of 2011, it is a role that has kept him busy. Moses Fernandez, a managerial accountant, has teamed up with Larry to manage the workload.
Immediately following a destructive storm or natural disaster, utility personnel report damages to the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency. The state agency canvasses the troubled areas and assesses other entities' damages, then submits a report to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). When OPPD qualifies for federal monies, Larry pulls together the supporting documentation, including payroll amounts, invoices and materials. A similar process is required to collect insurance claims.
The effort requires coordination with many work groups, and the process can take months, even years, in the case of the flood. It's also one of the reasons Larry received the utility's top peer-nominated award, the Award of Excellence, in 2014.
Many employees worked long hours to make sure OPPD was protect-ed during that flood. "Larry also protected us by working non-stop until just recently on all the documentation support for FEMA and insurance claims," said one employee who nominated Larry.
Larry compared accounting to keeping score for the company.
"We have to keep good track of how we are doing in order to stay a low-cost power provider," he said.
Moses Fernandez, left, and Larry Kaipust oversee efforts to recover federal monies and insurance claims following devastating storms and natural disasters.
Integrated Marketplace Helps Keep In March 2014, OPPD entered a new era when the Southwest Power Pool's (SPP) Integrated Marketplace (IM) went live and became the venue for generators to sell their power and for purchasers to buy their load.
Ultimately, both OPPD and its customers benefit.
The IM provides OPPD with access to a more compet-itive means of servicing our customers. OPPD can use the market to help keep rates low through buying power when it is more cost effective than our own generation or selling excess into the market when prices are higher, which helps pay a portion of our fixed costs.
" SPP provides services to approximately 15 million people.
" SPP is comprised of utilities, generators and transmission companies.
I-AN Costs Down
" The SPP IM is a computerized clearinghouse that matches sellers and buyers.
" The IM optimizes generators to find the least-cost solution for the SPP footprint.

Brothers Glenn and Marvin Wiles run a large fertilizer and agricultural product operation out of Plattsmouth, Neb. OPPD Electrical Service Designer Craig Stephenson helps them find solutions to their growing energy needs.
Expertise Benefits Growing Rural Load Farms and ranches cover a sizable portion of OPPD's 5,000-square-mile service area, with 11 of the 13 coun-ties being predominantly rural.
In Nebraska, electrical usage among agricultural customers continues to grow thanks to new technologies and higher power requirements. In fact, OPPD's south rural area, which serves more than 23,100 customers, has seen a 7.9 percent load growth since 2010.
OPPD electrical service designers, like Craig Stephenson, understand the special needs of these cus-tomers. The vast majority of our farming customers are agricultural, but livestock operations and ancillary busi-nesses that use the livestock, crops and byproducts are located in these rural communities, as well.
Here are the top three ways OPPD helps farm customers:
- 1. Size OPPD equipment to handle farm loads. High-load items include storage bins, drying equipment, farrow-ing houses and livestock wells.
- 2. Plan for irrigation. The utility has seen substantial irrigation growth in the past five years.
- 3. Provide cost-effective rate options, including demand and time-of-use rates.
11 2014 OPPD Annual Report
Green Efforts Continue to Grow OPPD continues to develop projects and set initiatives that ensure its future is not just bright, but also green. At the end of 2014, OPPD had 418.6 MW of wind and landfill ga renewables - which represent 12.2 percent of OPPD's total retail energy sales for the yea.
Here are the newest additions to the mix:
" Prairie Breeze, a 118-turbine wind farm near Elgin, Neb.; OPPD receives 200.6 MW. (2 14)
" Broken Bow II, an NPPD wind farm near Broken Bow, Neb.; OPPD buys 43.9 MW. (201,
" Grande Prairie Wind Farm, being built in Holt County; OPPD committed to 400 MW. ( 17)

Bold Changes Look to Future Our children's OPPD will look much different than it does today. That's thanks in part to residential, business and other community stakeholders from whom the utility sought input.
In June, OPPD announced a bold generation plan. It includes retiring three of its oldest coal-fired generating units, retrofitting other units with additional emission controls, converting some units to natural gas by 2023 and eventually reducing its load by 300 MW through Demand-Side Management programs.
The plan will allow OPPD to significantly reduce emissions and be compliant with the new Mercury and 4._4%

OPPD captured customer feedback over several months at open houses, public forums and online, as well as through extensive market research. Research showed customers favored an approach in line with the corporate mission - power must remain affordable, reliable and should be environmentally sensitive. Customers said they were willing to rely on OPPD expertise to make the right decisions on resource options. They also said they were willing to pay higher costs to get an additional environmental benefit, but the tipping point was about 3 percent.
