Long-Term Decarbonization at Omaha Public Power District

Sierra Club
Project Completed December 2021

Synapse was retained by the Sierra Club to engage in the Omaha Public Power District's decarbonization initiative. We participated in a series of stakeholder workshops and conducted simultaneous electric simulation modeling that retired coal, reduced reliance on new gas, and added higher volumes of renewables, storage, and energy efficiency. Synapse calculated CO2 emissions associated with each resource portfolio and compared the relative cost to ratepayers of continuing OPPD’s investments in existing and new fossil-fueled resources versus alternatives.
