A final line route for the Norfolk-Stanton North Power Project’s new 115 kV transmission line was announced on January 23, 2024. Directly impacted landowners were sent a letter with a map of the final route, and all original property owners were mailed a newsletter. The project is now in phase 3, in which NPPD representatives work with property owners along the route on the project’s next steps.
Thank you to the landowners for working with us during the easement acquisition phase and now as we begin the construction phase of the project. Right-of-Way (ROW) agents Neal Dreifurst and Andrew Jarecki will continue to communicate with landowners throughout the construction process.
NPPD contracted Norfolk Tree Care, LLC of Norfolk, Nebraska to complete the tree clearing activities. Tree clearing activities will occur only in areas where easements and tree agreements have been obtained. Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2025. NPPD’s construction crew will be constructing the new line with support on the foundation work from Dietzel Enterprises, Inc. of Valley, Nebraska.
The need for this project is based on the area’s rapid growth and the current transmission system’s high electrical demand. The new 115 kV transmission line will increase the transmission system's capacity to meet increasing demand and further enhance reliability and resiliency in the surrounding area. This project fulfills NPPD’s obligation to serve wholesale customer demand.
Routes for a transmission project are typically developed over the course of several phases and are then narrowed down to a final route.
