The resolution proposes an interim study to assess the effects of net-zero plans and goals implemented by public power utilities. The study aims to evaluate various aspects, including the impact on customer rates, the true costs associated with these plans, and the influence of state and federal regulations. Additionally, it will examine the reliability and affordability of energy supply, the effects on employment at baseload generation facilities, and the economic consequences of facility closures on local communities.

The Natural Resources Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this study, which will involve collaboration with state agencies, other legislative committees, and relevant stakeholders such as public power utilities and local municipalities. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature.
