This legislation recognizes the importance of energy efficiency and renewable energy for Nebraska’s health and economic well-being. It highlights the benefits of reducing energy costs, stimulating economic development, and creating jobs. To overcome the financial barriers of upfront costs, municipalities are authorized to establish clean energy assessment districts, enabling alternative financing methods for energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy systems. These districts serve public interests such as lowering energy costs, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing property values.
