This bill establishes definitions and regulations regarding electric service for agricultural self-generation facilities in Nebraska. It defines key terms such as "agricultural self-generation facility," which refers to a facility producing electricity for agricultural purposes using renewable resources like methane, wind, solar, biomass, hydropower, or geothermal energy. The bill specifies that these facilities must be controlled by the owner-generator, located on the same premises as their electric account, and have a capacity of 100 kilowatts or less. Additionally, it outlines the responsibilities of local distribution utilities, including the requirement to provide electric service to customers with agricultural self-generation facilities, while allowing them to set rates and fees to cover their costs.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that owner-generators must notify their local distribution utility of their intent to install an agricultural self-generation facility. It emphasizes that while local distribution utilities cannot deny service to these customers, they can enforce interconnection requirements, safety standards, and service agreements. The legislation aims to promote renewable energy use in agriculture while ensuring that utilities can maintain operational integrity and financial viability.
