The Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District’s board of directors voted Monday to proceed to Phase 2 of a study of potential consolidation with the Dawson Public Power District.
In December, the boards of both organizations agreed to share the costs of a consultant to conduct a phased study and determine whether a consolidation would be an economic and strategic fit that benefits both entities, customers and stakeholders.
Phase 1 of the study, conducted by Power Systems Engineering of Madison, Wisc., yielded favorable data that indicates a good strategic fit and positive financial advantages resulting from a consolidation, Central spokesman Jeff Buettner said.
