The Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska (MEAN) is the wholesale electricity supply organization of NMPP Energy. Created in 1981, MEAN provides power supply, transmission and related services to more than 60 communities, one public power district and one joint-action agency in four states: Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming.
MEAN member communities benefit from local control over power supply options. Each MEAN member community has a voting representative and works cooperatively to provide the lowest possible rates and achieve the highest quality of service to their respective end-use customers.
MEAN’s consistent growth and stable rates are proof of its history and reputation for successfully serving its members’ needs with reliable, affordable electricity and related services.
MEAN prides itself on being able to offer competitive, long-term power supply rates.
As a member-owned organization, its member communities are the owners and reap the benefits of any operational gains. Unlike investor-owned power suppliers, MEAN is able to offer cost-based rates.
MEAN’s diverse power supply portfolio that utilizes coal, natural gas, water and wind also plays a factor into keeping rates competitive for its members and participants.
MEAN maintains a reliable, long-term power supply by having a diverse power supply portfolio consisting of generation facility ownership and shared participation, member generation and purchased power.
