Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) has assembled a crew of technicians who will be heading to Georgia Thursday morning to aid in restoration efforts, following Hurricane Helene.
A 15-man crew, including 12-line technicians, one fleet technician, and two supervisors departed from the York Operations Center Thursday morning and are headed towards the Augusta and Savannah, Georgia areas. Once crews have gotten closer, they will coordinate with Georgia Power to identify where they can begin work to restore power. As of Thursday morning, Georgia Power reported having over 141,000 customers still without power.
NPPD crews assisting in the mutual aid come from Ainsworth, Atkinson, Bassett, Chadron, Humboldt, Kearney, Lexington, Norfolk, O’Neill, Plattsmouth, and Ravenna
