Columbus, Neb. – A planned outage is scheduled for electric customers in Long Pine, Tuesday, August 26 from 7 to 8 a.m. to return the system to normal operation following recent substation work.
The outage will impact Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) customers in the city of Long Pine, including Hidden Paradise. Crews recently completed upgrades to a substation in the area, and during that time period the system has been utilizing a mobile substation. With the upgrade work completed, the planned outage will allow crews to return the system to its normal operation.
“We want to thank everyone in Long Pine for their cooperation and understanding during the two outages,” noted NPPD Account Manager Brittney Koenig. “The work done at the substation will help ensure the area continues to receive reliable electric service. As always, crews will complete the work as safely and efficiently as possible, and customers will be restored once the mobile substation is removed from service.”
NPPD works closely with impacted communities to schedule any planned outages, and customers impacted by the outage will receive a call or notification prior to the outage.
