Happy Birthday, Nebraska!⠀ #NPPD #PublicPower #CommunityPowered ![Customers should expect higher electric bills due to the recent cold snap. NPPD rates are set every year, we don't raise rates during cold-weather events, and we haven't changed our residential rates for the last eight years. Higher bills mean we all used more electricity to stay warm. If you have questions regarding your electric bill, give us a call, and we can walk you through your energy usage.⠀

Our operators continue to manage the rolling service interruptions that are impacting communities. Please expect these service interruptions to now last around 45 minutes. These outages are planned and controlled by our operators at a centralized location to keep the electric grid stable and keep the power on for as many Nebraskans as possible. Sometimes, when our operators restore power, there might be a mechanical failure due to the extreme cold. Our lineworkers are out in the field and are on standby to manually close the breakers to get the power on as soon as possible. If you are impacted, and service isn’t restored after 45 minutes, please call 877-ASK-NPPD.]()
