Merger Announcement

Effective July 1, 2019 the Nebraska Energy Office (NEO) is merging with the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to become the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (DEE).

As we move through the remainder of 2019 into 2020, the websites from both the Nebraska Energy Office and the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, will be merged into the new Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy website.

The Energy & Assistance Division website is neo.ne.gov

The new Department of Environment & Energy website address is dee.ne.gov

The website merger will take considerable time to complete. Thank you for your patience during this transition period.
