लगभग हरेक नेब्रास्कनलाई अब स्वच्छ, दिगो ऊर्जा आपूर्ति गर्न प्रतिबद्ध विद्युतीय उपयोगिताले सेवा प्रदान गर्दछ।
In December, the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) board of directors voted 9-2 to adopt a goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
This means the utility will steadily seek to source more energy from such carbon-free sources as solar and wind energy and reduce reliance on such carbon-intensive sources as coal over the next 30 years. During this time, NPPD will continue to use reliable generation sources, such as natural gas and nuclear, until alternatives are developed at scale. These efforts will be combined with energy efficiency projects, certified offsets, beneficial electrification projects, and other economic or practical technologies.
यो नीति अपनाएसँगै, NPPD ले लिंकन इलेक्ट्रिक सिस्टम (LES) र ओमाहा पब्लिक पावर डिस्ट्रिक्ट (OPPD) सँग सामेल हुन्छ जुन डिकार्बोनाइज्ड इलेक्ट्रिक ग्रिडको लागि कार्बन उत्सर्जन घटाउने राज्यव्यापी प्रयास बनेको छ। OPPD ले २०१९ मा २०५० सम्ममा आफ्नो नेट-शून्य लक्ष्य अपनायो र LES ले २०२० मा अपनाइएको लक्ष्यको भागको रूपमा २०४० सम्ममा नेट-शून्यमा पुग्ने लक्ष्य राखेको छ।
This is a big win for Nebraska and its rural residents and communities.
Clean energy brings additional tax dollars to counties that support local schools, infrastructure, and public services. It also brings jobs, increased retail sales, and secure payments to area landowners, in addition to providing sustainable, homegrown energy. Many rural Nebraskans have already experienced these benefits and want to bring additional investments to their communities.
With the state’s unique public power system, Nebraskans have the power to influence how their energy is generated. NPPD’s rural customer/owners are to be commended for the part they played in the adoption of this goal.
उनीहरूको प्रयास र अरूको कामका कारण, नेब्रास्काले राज्यभर किफायती, भरपर्दो र दिगो स्वच्छ ऊर्जा प्रदान गर्ने बाटोमा आफूलाई स्वच्छ ऊर्जाको नेताको रूपमा स्थापित गरेको छ।
