Electricity from wind in one U.S. state

2006United States Department of Energy National Renewable Energy Laboratory NE wind resource map

Wind power inNebraska remains largely untapped in comparison with its potential. In theGreat Plains, with more than 47,000 farms and open skies it ranks near the top in the United States in its ability to generate energy from wind.^[1] As of 2015, the state had not adopted arenewable portfolio standard.^[2]Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) is one of the state's largest purchasers of wind energy.^[3]

In 2016, Nebraska had 1,335 MW of installed wind power generation capacity, producing 10.1% of the electricity generated in-state.^[4] This increased to a capacity of 2,142 MW and a 19.92% of generation in 2019.^[5]

Wind for Schools

[edit]

An initiative of the Department of Energy, theWind for Schools program supported the construction of small scale wind turbines at schools throughout state to encourages the incorporation of renewable energy education into the science curriculum. In Nebraska, wind turbines were installed at twenty-five K-12 schools, four community colleges and the Wind Applications Center at theUniversity of Nebraska–Lincoln.^[6] Locations include various elementary andhigh schools, andcommunity colleges including thoseBancroft,Bloomfield,Cedar Rapids,Crawford,Creighton,Diller-Odell High School,Elkhorn Valley,Hastings,Hayes Center,Hyannis, Logan View,Loup City,Merdian-Daykin,Mullen,Norfolk,Norris,^[7]Oshkosh, Papillion-LaVista South High School,Pleasanton,Superior,West Holt andSoutheast Community College,^[8]^[9]

Utility installations

Nebraska's first utility-scale wind project with two 750 kWZond wind turbines came on-line in 1998 west ofSpringview and operated until 2007.^[10]
