Omaha Public Power District’s Customer Assistance Program

The OPPD Customer Assistance Program (CAP) is a pilot program designed to provide financial assistance in the form of a monthly bill credit for households within the 13-county OPPD service area. The program will reduce a customer’s electric burden to a more affordable level as long as the customer makes on-time payment. Program guidelines and eligibility requirements are subject to change.

CAP Pilot has an enrollment maximum of 3,000 and the website will be updated accordingly once enrollment reaches that level.

Eligibility Requirements

Customer must recertify eligibility for the program annually.

Minor income includes child support, SS, and DPA cash assistance, but does not include wages.
