The state has few fossil-fuel reserves but has abundant renewable generation and agricultural resources. It is an increasing harvester of wind energy and a major producer of biofuels (primarily ethanol), with further potential for biomass generation. Nebraska has no renewable portfolio standard while supporting net metering. It was a top-ten ...
The project was initiated in 2008 by Midwest Wind Energy Development Group, eventually completing much of the planning and approval work.
