Nebraska Public Power District

NPPD does not offer an EV-specific time-of-use rate. Residential customers with an advanced metering infrastructure meter can opt into the RateWise Time-of-Use rate, which prices electricity by on-peak, off-peak, and super off-peak periods, so charging overnight, when the super off-peak period runs from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., costs less than charging during the priced peak. NPPD positions this rate for households that can shift usage, including EV charging, into the cheaper periods. NPPD's other residential option is RateWise Anytime, which its rate comparison tool uses as the baseline for what a customer pays today.

The GoEV rebates are tied to charging equipment, not to a rate, so a customer can take the residential charger and pre-wiring rebates whether or not they switch to Time-of-Use. The residential program covers a home charging station plus pre-wiring for a 240-volt circuit; the commercial and workplace program is a separate track aimed at non-residential accounts and funds a share of charging-station cost plus conduit for new construction. Check the program application for funding terms.

Nebraska is the only state served 100 percent by publicly owned utilities, so NPPD is governed by an elected board of directors rather than a state public service commission, and its territory is mostly rural and spread across many small communities. The commercial GoEV rebates are open not only to NPPD commercial customers but also to customers of the wholesale public-power utilities NPPD serves, so commercial eligibility can extend beyond NPPD's direct retail meters.
