Falls City City-Owned Power Plant

planned

The City of Falls City is exploring the development of a new city-owned power generation facility potentially linked to the Mid-America Rail Campus and Nebraska's bio-economy. The project is in the early exploration phase and will utilize emerging technologies, excluding wind, solar, or coal. The plant aims to serve the Southwest Power Pool regional markets from North Dakota to Texas. A feasibility study is authorized, with Nebraska Rural Generation reimbursing the city for study costs. The project includes a Community Benefits Agreement ensuring local workforce participation, local hiring, local business contracting, a community scholarship fund, and ongoing community engagement.
