- **Event Description**: Join Conservation Nebraska for a free webinar, Innovation at Grand Island Utilities: Nebraska’s Largest Behind-the-Meter Solar Project, for an inside look at how Grand Island Utilities is
leading the way in local energy innovation with a 10-megawatt behind-the-meter solar project.

Ryan Schmitz, Grand Island’s Utility Director, will explore how public power utilities can strategically plan for reliability, affordability, and future growth. The focus will be on the 10-megawatt behind-the-meter solar project, and how this model
directly offsets load, reduces peak demand, and helps defer the need for new generation. Ryan will also briefly touch on system planning considerations, project ownership, and key takeaways
from the project’s first year in operation.

Whether you’re a municipal leader, utility professional, or community member interested in public power and local energy solutions, this session offers a valuable, real-world case study on
utility-scale innovation.
