Hold OPPD to Its Promise: Close the North Omaha Coal Plant by 2026!
The North Omaha Coal Plant has polluted the air in our community for decades. While OPPD has promised to close it by 2026, the timeline has already been delayed multiple times. Now, with an upcoming fourth-quarter review on the plant’s conversion, we must remind OPPD that North Omaha is watching and we expect them to keep their word.
North Omaha residents are feeling the health effects of pollution from the coal plant—and being left out of decisions about its future. In a community survey, 131 people connected to North Omaha shared their concerns: unhealthy air, stalled environmental progress, and no voice in decisions. OPPD has promised to transition the North Omaha plant away from coal. Upcoming board meetings could decide if that happens.
Time is of the essence. Right now, we have the opportunity to hold OPPD accountable by showing them our community is united in wanting the plant closed on schedule.
Add your name to the petition, and submit your own comments to tell OPPD: Keep your promise to close the North Omaha Coal Plant by 2026.
