Illuminate our Future

Powering the Future to 2050

The magic of the future. Brought to you by the hard work of the present.

At OPPD, we’ve imagined the future. Powering the Future to 2050 is a strategic vision to make OPPD cleaner, more sustainable, and more innovative than you can believe. While others have been wondering about what’s next, we’ve been hard at work, nights and weekends, planning out what the future of power looks like and how to bring it to life.

Imagine...it's 6:30 p.m. in June 2050

Compared to your grandparents' time, electricity is more important than ever. The Greater Omaha region reached 1.2 million people in the late 2040s. Electricity powers the region’s transit, its first-class health care services, all of the remote and hybrid workplaces and education centers, and the millions of interconnected smart devices that make life more convenient.

Compared to your grandparents’ era, energy services are invisible and intuitive. Your grandparents had to call their utility to report a power outage. Now you rarely experience outages, because they’re fixed before service is lost. If an outage does occur, you get a real-time notification and are automatically switched to backup.

Access to perfect power in 2050 provides peace of mind. You don’t have to think about your energy supply; it just works. This gives you and those you love freedom. It enables your aging parents to live longer in their own homes, because they’re able to connect electronically with care providers and their medical devices never lose power. With perfect power and 6G internet, your kids are instantly and seamlessly connected to classrooms around the world. Your home’s ability to get energy from OPPD or be off-grid using community-generated energy gives you and your neighbors more control over your energy use and management.

It’s 2050. OPPD’s Vision is Clear - Perfect Power, Customer Freedom, and Cleaner World enabled through a Digitally Driven, Purpose Driven Culture and Future Ready Posture mindset.

OPPD's Vision

There are six parts to OPPD's vision:

Three that customer-owners will directly experience	Three are internal OPPD drivers of those outcomes

Details about this vision can be found in this document, but it is not promises or plans. The milestones within are indicators of OPPD’s aspiration, and the direction toward which it is moving. It can and will change as new information, technology and legislation come to light. Just as the North Star gives sailors direction at night and is not the destination itself, Powering the Future to 2050 is OPPD’s North Star. It will guide OPPD’s transformational journey.
