- Nebraska is the only state in which all electricity providers are non-profit organizations—either public power districts, municipal power systems, or rural electric cooperatives.
- Nebraska is among the top 10 states in per capita energy consumption because of its energy-intensive industrial sector, led by agriculture, food processing, and chemical and machinery manufacturing.
