Power outages littered across Nebraska Monday and into Tuesday
OGALLALA, Neb. -- Several areas of Nebraska lost power at certain points Monday, with crews fighting the weather conditions to bring customers back online.
Ogallala had over 2,000 customers lose power at multiple points late Monday, with much of the area restored before midnight according Nebraska Public Power District.
Lexington also saw numerous customers lose power, according to NPPD, with an early-morning resolution found on Tuesday.
That came after Dawson Public Power District battled multiple substation outages earlier in the day due to the conditions. Sidney also saw over 1,100 customers lose power Monday, according to High West Energy.
Most of the areas appear to be affected by windy and icy conditions across the state, though Sterling also had 356 customers affected by an outage, despite southeast Nebraska being largely unaffected by winter weather.
By Tuesday morning, Plattsmouth and greater Cass County were dealing with an outage affecting 2,016 customers. The outage was reported shortly after 5:30 a.m. CT, with an estimated restoration expected after 8:30 a.m. CT. No cause has been given for the outage, but NPPD said crews were en route.
