- The board approves the district’s annual budget, oversees finances, and ensures the utility operates in a sustainable and reliable manner.
- Members set electricity rates, rules, and service regulations, determining how much customers pay for power.
- The board appoints and evaluates the chief executive officer, who manages the day-to-day operations of the utility.
- Board members are elected in nonpartisan elections from subdivisions within the service area and serve typically six-year terms. In large districts, such as the Nebraska Public Power District, the board consists of 11 members who represent all or parts of 84 of Nebraska’s 93 counties.
