Nebraska City Station Unit 3

In 2007, the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) announced plans to build a third 660 megawatt (MW) unit of Nebraska City Station, southeast of Nebraska City. The plant will burn coal from the Powder River Basin.

Although OPPD has not announced that it is abandoning this project, it has not communicated about the project with state air officials since announcing the project in July 2007. However, the company announced in October 2008 that it was evaluating twelve responses to a Request for Proposals for 80 MW of wind capacity, to be provided by 2010.
