This map has recently been circulating that identifies parcels of land in Cass County.

Based on the intent of LB1261, that's not how the legislation is designed. The bill allows a privately owned generation facility to be built alongside a new, large industrial customer to serve that customer's electricity needs. The legislation requires commercial agreements with Nebraska's public power utilities while preserving the utilities' exclusive right to provide...]]></description><link>https://www.casscountyfacts.com/post/will-people-end-up-paying-higher-electric-bills-with-this-current-project</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5ae4c55e7d848635e04c50</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 Jul 2026 02:29:36 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Cass County Facts</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where Does Lincoln Water 2.0 Fit in All of This?]]></title><description><![CDATA[As conversations continue in Cass County, one question we've heard repeatedly is whether the proposed Tenaska power plant is connected to Lincoln Water 2.0.
