Columbus, Neb. – The final outage in a series of planned outages is scheduled for electric customers in Boyd County, as well as parts of Holt and Knox County, was planned for Sunday, Sept. 15, but due to warm weather forecast for the weekend the outage has now been moved to Sunday, Sept. 29 from 1 to 6 p.m. to finish work on a transformer replacement at the substation serving the area.

The outage will impact Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) customers in the communities of Butte, Bristow, and Lynch, as well as the village of Spencer and Niobrara Valley Electric Membership Corporation customers in rural Boyd County, northwestern Knox County, and northern Holt County. In addition, crews from both NPPD and Niobrara Valley E.M.C. will be making repairs to poles and crossarms, as well as installing breakers, which can only happen by taking an outage.

“This is necessary to make sure the system can operate properly heading into the winter months. We did our best to wait for irrigation load to drop in the area before taking this outage, and this will allow us to get some needed work accomplished. I'm thankful for everyone's patience while we get this work completed,” added Niobrara Valley E.M.C. General Manager Matt Fritz.
