Board Meeting Summary

OPPD Approves Corporate Operating Plan for 2007

December 14, 2006 -

Omaha Public Power District may be past the biggest check-writing year, but the cost of making sure customers will own and operate enough power generating plants to fill their needs still occupies the biggest portion of the OPPD budget. The 2007 Corporate Operating Plan and Construction Budget came before the OPPD Board of Directors today with the second highest budget for capital expenditures in the District’s history, $337 million.

The Directors approved the plan at their meeting today, which contains a spending target of approximately $814 million for the capital construction along with the cost of operating and maintaining (O&M) the district. This is about $198 million less than the current projections for the same number this year.

The construction budget contains about $20 million to pay the last of the bills of the large-scale refurbishment of Fort Calhoun Station, which was completed early this month ahead of schedule and under budget. Another $151 million will help pay for the new generating plant being built near Nebraska City (Nebraska City 2) plus $43 million for a transmission line needed to tie the plant into the power grid. Nebraska City 2 construction is on schedule and on budget. The two projects are the least cost way of providing customers with the growing amount of electricity they wish to use.

Nebraska City 2 will provide OPPD customers with 330 megawatts (million watts) of power when it comes on line in 2009. The upgrading of Fort Calhoun Station will allow it to operate until 2033. Both projects were the lowest cost way to provide the continually increasing power requirements of OPPD customers.

The Corporate Operating Plan indicates a need to raise the price of electricity to cover the cost of the extensive refurbishment work at Fort Calhoun Station. The Board of Directors publicly supported a three percent general rate increase in 2007 last year. Now, the Board will take action to set the new rates.

Those looking to buy OPPD bonds will have the opportunity in 2007. The Plan anticipates issuing $275 million in bonds during the year.

Total operating revenues are projected at $710 million with anticipated net earnings of $71.7 million, assuming the three percent increase in prices. Total Operating expenses are projected at $604 million, an increase of 6.5 per cent that shows an increasing cost of fuel and materials such as transformers and cable and depreciation expense.

The District anticipates paying $21.1 million to local governmental treasuries as its payment In Lieu of Taxes, that is an increase of $625,000 from this year’s amount.

In other action, the Board:

Fort Calhoun Station Siren Test Set for August

August 15, 2006 -

The Omaha Public Power District will conduct its annual test of the siren alert system around the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Station on Wednesday, August 23, 2006. All radio-controlled sirens located within a 10-mile radius of Fort Calhoun Station will sound for a full three minutes sometime between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Fort Calhoun Station is located about 19 miles north of Omaha and just outside of Blair, Nebraska. Because this is only a test, no action by the public is required.

The siren system is designed to alert those who live or work within 10 miles of Fort Calhoun Station in the unlikely event of a serious accident at the generating plant. The test is conducted to ensure the system is working properly. If an event were to occur, the sirens would sound to signal the public that people should tune to the local Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio station for official information and instructions. The designated EAS radio station in this area and primary source of information from Nebraska and Iowa authorities is KFAB, 1110 on the AM dial.

Anyone noticing a siren malfunction during the test on Wednesday, August 23, is asked to call (402) 636-3747 or write the Consumer Relations Department, Omaha Public Power District, 444 S. 16th St. Mall, Omaha, NE 68102-2247.

OPPD Expands Renewable Energy Plant

July 27, 2006 -

One of Nebraska’s largest sources of renewable energy has gotten larger. Today, the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) dedicated an expansion to its Elk City Generating Station, located adjacent to the Douglas County landfill.

The plant uses gas generated from the landfill as fuel. Since the station first opened in April 2002, it has operated nearly 24 hours a day at more than 95 percent of its capacity, generating more than three million watts of power at any moment and producing enough electricity to power about 2,000 homes.

The facility owned by OPPD is operated and maintained under a special agreement by Waste Management Inc.

Through the end of May, the generating plant has produced nearly 114 million kilowatt-hours, more than any other renewable energy plant in the state except for two giant wind turbine farms near Kimball and Ainsworth.

Today, Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman joined officials from OPPD and Waste Management in dedicating the latest addition to the plant. The expansion will mean eight engines capable of producing electricity instead of the six currently operating on-site. One additional unit will be brought on line next Tuesday and the fourth new unit will be activated when gas production at the landfill becomes adequate. The additional gas is expected to become available next year. The gas is produced when trash deposited into the landfill begins to decompose.

Once all generators are operating at full capacity the plant will generate 6.4 megawatts of power. That would double the current capacity, producing enough energy to power the needs of 4,000 average homes.

Elk City Station is just one example of OPPD’s increasing commitment to alternative forms of energy and energy conservation.

OPPD’s wind turbine located near Valley, Nebraska, also contributes to the district’s “green” portfolio. Additionally, within the last year OPPD has agreed to purchase 10 megawatts of power from NPPD’s new 60-megawatt wind farm near Ainsworth. OPPD has also entered into a partnership with the University of Nebraska Omaha and other major utilities across the state to research new technologies to reduce energy use and to develop new sources of energy.

Heat Pushes Energy Usage by OPPD Customers to Record Levels

July 20, 2006 -

Wednesday’s record high temperatures also meant new records for Omaha Public Power District customer-owners. Customer use of electricity unofficially reached an all-time high.

According to the latest figures, electricity demand peaked at an estimated 2,281 megawatts on Wednesday between 5 and 6 p.m. That breaks the old official mark of 2,223.3 megawatts set on July 22, 2005.

To meet the demand, OPPD used its diverse assortment of generating resources, including large plants using coal or uranium for fuel, smaller plants designed for peak power usage, that use natural gas and fuel oil, and renewable energy plants powered by landfill gas or the wind.

“The economy in the OPPD area continues to grow and, as it does so, we continue to see growth in our customers’ demands for electricity,” said OPPD President and CEO Gary Gates. “The fact we were able to meet these peaks is a result of long-range planning, good maintenance work on the part of our crews and help from our customers.”

Customer help came in the form of large industrial and commercial customers who curtailed their loads, making additional power available to other customers. This was based on agreements OPPD has with these customers.

“The week demonstrates the importance of continuing to pursue all our options for providing additional reliable and low-cost power, especially as customer needs go up,” said Mr. Gates.

The district is currently building a new coal-fired generating plant south of Nebraska City to add to its capacity to meet those needs. The plant is scheduled to go on line in 2009. The district is also planning major refurbishment of Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station.

In addition to the new peak record, OPPD customers also set an unofficial daily usage record on Wednesday. OPPD customers used 43,700 megawatt-hours of electricity. The old official record was 42,202 megawatt-hours, which was also set on July 22, 2005.

Because higher consumption of electricity can also mean higher electric bills, OPPD is once again reminding customers of the importance of conservation. Effective methods include raising the thermostat setting in the home, changing or cleaning the filter on your heat pump or air conditioner, and refraining from chores such as cooking and laundry during the warmest part of the day. A number of other energy-conserving tips are available on OPPD’s website at www.oppd.com.

OPPD customers also provide energy-related assistance to disadvantaged families through its Energy Assistance Program. Customers can pledge a specific amount each month, or round up their bill. Ways to do so can be found on the OPPD website.

Donations may also be sent directly to the American Red Cross Heartland Chapter, which administers the program, at 2912 South 80 Avenue, Omaha, NE 68124. For information about applying for financial assistance, please call the Red Cross at (402) 343-7755. Callers outside the metropolitan area may call toll-free at 1-888-890-9569.

OPPD Wins J.D. Power Award for Sixth Consecutive Year

July 20, 2006 -

For the sixth consecutive year, customers of the Omaha Public Power District have recognized the utility for its efforts to provide top quality and reliable customer service. The global marketing and information services firm J.D. Power and Associates has released results of its annual survey of the nation’s largest electric utilities. The survey shows OPPD at the top of its class in the nation in overall customer satisfaction.

“We’re deeply grateful to our customers for this kind of continued recognition,” said OPPD President Gary Gates. “At the same time, we understand that this customer recognition also means higher customer expectations. Our customers will continue to ask more of us in the future, whether it be more service or more electricity,” he said.

According to J.D. Power and Associates, respondents to its 2006 Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study gave OPPD the highest overall customer satisfaction ranking in the Medium-Size Utility Category. The study evaluates how customers feel about their local utility company by assessing such factors as price and value, billing and payment, power quality and reliability, customer service and company image. Another issue that proved a key to this year’s rankings was effective customer communications.

The satisfaction study is based on telephone interviews with residential customers of the 76 largest utilities in the continental United States. The interviews were conducted between March 23 and June 6. This is the eighth year for the national survey. J.D. Power and Associates, which conducts the survey, is based in California.

Board Meeting Summary

OPPD to Study Time of Use Rate

July 13, 2006 -

Would you put off doing the laundry until late at night if it saved you a few pennies? How about cutting back on your air conditioner in the heat of the day because the price of power went up for several hours?

Those will be some of the questions pondered by the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) as it studies the possibility of putting “time-of-use” rates into its portfolio. In a time-of-use rate, an OPPD customer would pay more for electricity in times of high demand, when it costs more to generate or buy power. Conversely, the price of power would drop during times of low energy usage.

In action at its monthly meeting Thursday night in Omaha, the OPPD Board of Directors authorized a study of time-based metering and pricing, along with a study of interconnection services. OPPD already has time-of-use rates for some commercial customers, but the study would consider offering similarly designed rates to all customers.

The study of interconnection services will look at OPPD’s regulations and rates for customers to hook their own generation to the grid. The regulations now allow customers wishing to install solar panels or a wind-turbine to sell electricity to the District at the price OPPD would pay to generate that same amount of electricity. In that way, the customer could recoup some of the cost of the installation of the renewable energy equipment.

Only part of a customer’s bill pays the cost of generating electricity. Other parts of the bill cover costs of building and maintaining the transmission and distribution system that transmits electricity from power plants to the customer’s location, customer service functions, and other responsibilities of the District. The new study will consider pricing along with other regulations designed for safety and reliability of power.

In other action, the board authorized:

• two proposals to award three-year contracts for forestry work to Asplundh Tree Expert Co. of Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, and Wright Tree Service, Inc., of Des Moines, Iowa, for first year costs of $4,312,592.78 and $1,251,767.68 respectively. Rates in subsequent years will be negotiated annually.

 
• awarding a contract for installation of a finishing superheater at North Omaha Station and a reheater and related equipment at Nebraska City Station to Southeastern Mechanical Services of St. Petersburg, Florida, for $6,557,781.

 
• awarding a contract to Commonwealth Electric Company of the Midwest of Lincoln, Nebraska, for $272,325 to install electrical power supply equipment for a new building being built in conjunction with Nebraska City Station Unit 2.

Time Change for OPPD Board July Meeting

July 06, 2006 -

The Omaha Public Power District is advising customers that the OPPD Board of Directors will hold its July 2006 board meeting at a different time than usually scheduled.

The board’s regular monthly meeting will be held Thursday, July 13, at 7:00 p.m. rather than in the morning. As usual, the meeting will take place in the auditorium of the district’s corporate headquarters at Energy Plaza at 444 South 16th Street Mall in Omaha.

Normally, OPPD board meetings are held at 10 a.m. on the first Thursday after the tenth of each month. The committee meetings are held on the preceding Tuesday beginning at 8:30 a.m.

The board’s monthly committee meeting will be held at its regular time on Tuesday, July 11, at 8:30 a.m., also at the corporate headquarters.

Both meetings are open to the public.

Habitat for Humanity Home Dedicated

June 26, 2006 -

New owners of the newest Habitat for Humanity home in Nebraska have moved into their house and one thing they won’t be facing is high utility bills. That is because the home was designed to incorporate energy conservation equipment and construction techniques to efficiently use energy.

The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) sponsored much of the house, provided equipment, and will monitor its energy-efficiency. Nearly 200 OPPD employees volunteered their own time to help the family build the home.

“We believe it is important to use energy as wisely as possible,” said OPPD Vice President Tim Burke at dedication ceremonies today. “The information we gain from monitoring this house and its equipment will allow us to make recommendations to home builders and buyers alike as to what works best in cutting their energy bills.”

Among the techniques is the use of insulated concrete forms, which uses concrete poured into polystyrene forms for both the basement and first floor walls. The technique provides good insulating power and an airtight “envelope” to hold in heated or cooled air.

“We appreciate the extra steps OPPD took on this project,” said Habitat for Humanity of Omaha Executive Director Amanda Jedlicka. “Their efforts should not only help this family but will help educate all homeowners on ways to save money on energy.”

Construction on the home started last September on a brush-covered lot near 33rd and Spaulding in Omaha. The home was purchased today by new Habitat homeowners Duoth Khor, his wife, Nyandech Reath and their 5 children.

Board Meeting Summary

OPPD Approves Elevating Transmission Line

June 15, 2006 -

The Omaha Public Power District Board of Directors finalized plans to upgrade a major transmission line. The line, which carries 345- thousand volts, runs approximately 50 miles from the Nebraska City Power Station to an area near Rulo, Nebraska. The board approved hiring the L.E. Myers Company of Marshalltown, Iowa, to install “PhaseRaisers” to raise the height of about 80 pole structures supporting the line. “PhaseRaisers” is a patented product that allows a line to be upgraded while it remains in service. Approval to purchase the technology from a Seward, Nebraska, company was given by the Board in April

The L.E. Myers Company will now be responsible for installing the purchased system that will add five to fifteen feet to the height of various pole structures. The extra clearance is needed because OPPD projects more power will be traveling down the line in the future. As the amount of electricity traveling through a line increases, more heat is generated, and the metal lines expand, causing them to “sag.” In the past, the district would have had to replace the current poles with taller towers. OPPD estimates that would have cost about two-and-one half times as much. Work is expected to begin in mid-July. The contract approved by the board for the installation work totals $294,518.16

In other action, the board approved:

• awarding a contract for $267,605 to Mainelli Mechanical of Omaha to install the first phase of a new auxiliary steam piping system for Nebraska City Station Unit 1.

 
• a contract with Van Dyke Brothers, Inc., of Minnesota, in the amount of $226,553 for rigging and relocation services for the main power transformers at Fort Calhoun Station.

 
• a proposal to enter into a contract with Alison Controls of Fairfield, New Jersey, in the amount of $180,000 to install a new central fire alarm reporting panel for the fire detection and suppression system at Nebraska City Station Unit 1.

 
• a proposal to enter into a contract to allow repairs of the power turbine of Unit 4A at Sarpy County Station. The contract is for an estimated $808,000 with Pratt & Whitney of East Hartford, Connecticut.

 
• awarding a contract to LeGrande Excavating, Inc., of Lincoln, in the amount of $659,030.14 to provide labor and material to grade the site for expansion of a substation in Nebraska City.

 
• a proposal to purchase four replacement submersible transformers for the downtown Omaha network system from National Electrical Systems, Inc. of Boonville, New York for $130,568.

 
• a proposal to procure electrical labor from L. E. Myers Company of Marshalltown, Iowa for construction of a new substation in Ashland, Nebraska for $407,183.49.

 
• a proposal to purchase three new power transformers from Dutton-Lainson Company of Hastings, Nebraska for $2,152,104.

Nebraska City 2 Reaches Milestone

June 13, 2006 -

Eastern Nebraska’s newest large-scale power plant is now over one-third completed. The Omaha Public Power District received word from the designers and builders of the plant just south of Nebraska City that the milestone was reached during the month of May. The plant, known as Nebraska City Station Unit 2, is being built by Nebraska City Power Partners (NCPP).

Once complete, the state-of-the-art plant will be able to generate 663 million watts of electricity. Half will be used to serve the increasing power needs of OPPD customers. The other half has been purchased on long-term contracts by seven public utilities, including Nebraska City Utilities, Falls City Utilities, the Nebraska Public Power District and the City of Grand Island utilities department.

NCPP says more than a quarter of a million work hours have been put in at the site on construction. Around 360 workers are on-site now, with that number expected to rise to between 850 and 900 workers at the peak of activity. The new power plant is scheduled to be on-line in the spring of 2009.

OPPD Ready for Summer

June 5, 2006 -

With the summer season unofficially underway following Memorial Day, the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) today assured customers there will be enough electricity available for the hottest months of the year. Summer is when customer demand for electricity usually peaks.

OPPD finished spring maintenance work last month on its three largest power generating plants. The three plants are North Omaha Power Station, Nebraska City Power Station, and Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Station.

They provide the bulk of electricity used by OPPD customers. The plants are called “baseload plants” and are designed to operate 24 hours per day. Together, they are capable of producing more than 1,800 million watts (Megawatts) of electricity.

During times when customers are using more electricity than those three facilities can provide, OPPD has nine additional turbine engines or “peaking” units which it can turn on to meet the demands. All but one of those units has been serviced and is currently ready to operate. Maintenance on the remaining engine will be completed by mid-June. The nine units can provide an additional 750 million watts of electricity.

“Peaking” plants operate on natural gas or diesel fuel. That makes their production costs higher than for other plants, but most often less expensive than buying power on the open market. However, purchasing from the open market is an option OPPD will use on those occasions when less expensive power is available.

OPPD obtains another 3 million watts of renewable energy from its landfill gas plant near the Douglas County landfill, plus more than 10 million watts of electricity, when the wind is blowing sufficiently, from its wind turbine in Valley and from a wind farm near Ainsworth, Nebraska.

“The combination of these plants and various conservation strategies we have with our large customers ensures us that we will be able to provide the power to get our customers through the summer,” said OPPD President and CEO Gary Gates. “We know that is important to them and that makes it important to us.”
