Nebraska Public Power District linemen at work, (Brian Neben, Central Nebraska Today)
OMAHA — Nebraska Public Power District is sending a 22-man team to Omaha to aid Omaha Public Power District in power restoration, following Friday’s severe weather.
Two supervisors and 20 technicians are leaving Saturday morning with necessary vehicles and equipment to provide mutual aid. Line technicians responding will be from NPPD operations in Aurora, Kearney, O’Neill, Plattsmouth, South Sioux City and York.
NPPD is also helping Howard Greeley Rural Public Power District install mobile generators to help restore power to their customers. I don’t have any details on which customers or how many customers they may have out.
NPPD crews are making repairs to an NPPD transmission line that had broken wood poles between Albion and Spalding but NPPD did not have any large retail customers outages as a result of the weather.
If you have any questions let me know, and I hope your are all staying safe.
