Bridgeport Adopts Bureau Power for Utility
Bridgeport has taken over its electric utility from Consumers Public Power District and signed a firm power contract with the Bureau of Reclamation. Service already is being supplied via the Gering-Sidney transmission line, avoiding a local generating plant. The arrangement marks the first direct U.S. to Nebraska municipality power contract since 1949. Missouri River Basin power will flow to several delivery points via Consumers lines at about seven mills per kilowatt hour.
