An OPPD (Omaha Public Power District) power outage is an interruption in the electrical service provided by OPPD to its customers in its service territory, primarily in southeast Nebraska. Outages can be caused by a variety of factors, including severe weather (storms, lightning, high winds), equipment failure, tree contact with power lines, vehicle accidents, or planned maintenance. OPPD works to restore power as quickly and safely as possible, prioritizing critical infrastructure and areas with the largest number of customers affected. Customers can report outages and stay informed about restoration progress through OPPD's website, mobile app, or by calling their customer service line.
