LB 1111 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Require an annual data center load report to the Nebraska Power Review Board, provide powers and duties for public power suppliers, allow and require regulation of data centers, and change provisions relating to regulation of cryptocurrency mining operations

LB 1111 requires data centers (especially large ones over 20 megawatts) and cryptocurrency mining operations (1-20 megawatts) to submit annual reports to Nebraska's Power Review Board detailing their electricity needs, infrastructure costs, and decommissioning plans. Public power suppliers must ensure these facilities pay the full cost of necessary infrastructure upgrades and avoid shifting costs to other customers. The bill mandates that large data centers provide security bonds for decommissioning costs and submit community benefit agreements to address local impacts. It directly affects data center operators, cryptocurrency miners, and public utilities managing electricity services in Nebraska.
