UPDATE: Tuesday, March 26, 5 p.m.
Cornhusker Public Power District has made good progress today on restoration efforts! We were able to restore power to customers in some areas. Unfortunately, power will NOT be restored to all customers today. Rest assured, our line technicians are working as safely and efficiently as possible. 59 individuals were out working today starting at 6 a.m. and will continue working into the evening hours. We are fortunate to have mutual aid from Loup Power District, Butler Public Power District, and Norris Public Power District with Polk Rural Public Power District joining us tomorrow.
We appreciate our customers’ patience and understanding during this unprecedented time.

Monday, March 25, 3:30 p.m.
Please note power will NOT be restored to many customers in the following areas today or tonight. Here is a current listing of our outages:
- Crews are all out working – currently making repairs to the system in hopes of trying to energize some areas later today. (This is very dependent on weather conditions).
- With the continued wind speeds and ice on the system, even if the area/line is energized, it often goes back out.
- We continue to do all we can to get the system ready to be energized.
- If you have a generator – please make sure it is properly connected and then runs as needed. (Please notify Cornhusker Public Power District that you are running your generator, we will notify you when system power is restored).
- We are currently working to have mutual aid here tomorrow morning to speed up the process. (Why not today? Due to relentless wind speeds noted above and the fact that until the ice comes off the lines or the wind goes down, the lines will continue to gallop violently, and very little progress is made.)

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
