Lincoln NPPD LES sign broad compromise ending many disputes
Lincoln Electric System and Nebraska Public Power District signed agreements to settle many public disputes after years of negotiations. LES pays NPPD 13.5 million for about 110 miles of transmission lines and six substations. The accord stops short of resolving court battles over power rates and deliveries and keeps negotiations open for an out of court settlement. The leaders say the deal benefits both utilities and the regional grid while leaving some issues for the courts.
