The share to be secured by NPPD would be 32 megawatts. Additional output would be assigned to Florida-based Jacksonville Electric Authority, Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska, and the City of Grand Island.Although the current size of the project is 60 megawatts, the total capacity could be expanded to 75 megawatts, provided more utilities agree to invest in the project.
