The Nebraska Wind Energy Advantage

Ranked 6th nationally in potential wind energy generation, Nebraska's central location poises us in the middle of this growing industry. Nebraska's outstanding geographic location provides same-day interstate access to the nation's top producing wind energy states and Midwest wind product manufacturers and suppliers.

The U.S. wind energy industry is undergoing explosive growth. In 2008, 8,358 megawatts of new wind generating capacity was installed-enough to supply an estimated 2 million-plus homes.

Among our central location, Nebraska also offers:

  • Employees with exceptional work ethic
  • Low unemployment insurance and compensation rates
  • Favorable management and labor relations-Nebraska is a "Right to Work" state
  • Customized job training
  • Attractive incentives through the Nebraska Advantage program (http://www.nebraskaadvantage.biz/)
  • A 100% public power system-the only state to offer it-providing customers with some of the lowest electrical power rates in the nation

These and many other factors contribute to Nebraska's consistent rankings as one of the Top 10 Best States for Doing Business, and one of the Nation's Top 10 Pro-Business States.
