RProject

NPPD is firmly committed to helping protect the health and safety of our fellow Nebraskans and employees, and to serving our customers. We, and our contractors, are taking the necessary COVID-19 precautions while conducting pre-construction activities. We continue to closely monitor the changing situation and are complying with Public Health guidance.

Need and Benefits

NPPD’s electric grid is an essential link to ensuring service for our customers.

The R-Project will enhance reliability of
NPPD’s electric transmission system.
The R-Project will relieve congestion from
existing lines within the transmission system.
The R-Project will provide for development of
renewable energy projects approved at the local level.

The first two reasons take precedence over the third as, even if no renewable energy projects ever connect to this line, it is still needed to address reliability concerns and relieve congestion.

What is NPPD’s R-Project?

NPPD plans to construct a 345,000-volt transmission line from NPPD's Gerald Gentleman Station near Sutherland to NPPD's existing substation east of Thedford. The new line will then proceed east and connect to a second substation to be sited in Holt County.
