Columbus, Neb. – A brief planned outage is scheduled for electric customers in Bassett, Wednesday, September 10 at 7 a.m. for approximately 5 minutes, to allow for work at a substation in the area.
The outage is being conducted so crews can hook-up a mobile substation, so maintenance can be conducted at the substation. “Outages are not convenient and while it will be brief, we want to make sure people are aware so they can plan ahead for the morning schedule,” noted NPPD Account Manager Brittney Koenig. “Over the next month crews will conduct maintenance, and once completed a second five-minute outage will take place in late September to return the system to normal operation.”
NPPD works closely with impacted communities to schedule any planned outages. NPPD will notify impacted customers prior to the planned outage, and customers can call 1-877-ASK-NPPD if they have any questions. NPPD will send out additional information once the second outage date and time are confirmed.
