NMPP Energy
NMPP Energy serves nearly 200 member communities in seven Midwest and Rocky Mountain states through four organizations in the areas of wholesale electricity, wholesale and retail natural gas and energy-related services. The Nebraska Municipal Power Pool (NMPP) was created in 1975 as 19 municipal electric utilities pooled their resources to better handle escalating fuel prices while still serving their communities effectively and efficiently. The passage of legislation in 1981 allowed the formation of the Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska (MEAN), a wholesale electric supply organization.
NMPP then shifted its focus on providing energy-related services. Since its inception, MEAN has relied upon member generation as part of its power supply and, with its growth, has steadily secured a diverse supply portfolio outside member generation. Today MEAN supplies wholesale electricity to more than 65 communities in Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming. Echoing the principles of local control and working together, four communities who owned their own natural gas systems and were seeking to secure a reliable, low-cost gas supply formed the Nebraska Public Gas Agency in 1991.
