Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District, based in Ogallala, Nebraska, operates around Lake McConaughy, the state's largest reservoir. The lake stores water from the North Platte River for use as surface water irrigation. The management of Lake McConaughy also supports hydroelectric generation, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities as part of its regional water resources program. In August 2023, CNPPID merged with Dawson Public Power District. Local reporting described the merger as a significant change in the district’s regional operations. The organization maintains a small staff while continuing to oversee Lake McConaughy and its associated irrigation and utility functions.
