Columbus, Neb. – Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) will be conducting a planned power outage Wednesday, May 21 from midnight to approximately 3 a.m.
Crews are conducting the planned outage to repair a damaged substation component to ensure reliable operation of the substation and electric service to customers. “We appreciate everyone’s patience during this planned outage. In an effort to minimize impact to customers, we will be conducting the outage during the nighttime hours when electric use is minimal. This is not always an option when conducting planned outage work, but this outage will allow us to make repairs while most people are sleeping,” added NPPD Distribution Supervisor T.J. Rutledge.
NPPD will be contacting impacted customers prior to May 20 to notify them of the planned outage. If a customer has a question about the outage, they can call 1-877-ASK-NPPD.
