Background
OPPD is expanding operations at its Cass County power station to include three new dual-fuel generators, bringing the total number of units on the site to five. Once construction is complete and the new units are available, the total capacity at the site will be about 1,000 MW.[5] OPPD chose Siemens Energy to provide the new assets, including four SGT6-5000F combustion turbines.[3] The new units are expected to be online in 2029.[5] In May 2025, a notice was given to the public of the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy’s intent to issue a construction permit to OPPD.[6]
