Norris Public Power District

About Norris :: Our District

Norris Public Power District's electric system is a transmission and distribution system consisting of 620 miles of 34.5 kV and 69 kV transmission lines, 3,930 miles of primary distribution lines, 68 distribution substations and 10 industrial substations. About 490 miles of the total 5,040 miles of distribution and transmission lines are underground facilities.

Our District receives the majority of its power and energy from Nebraska Public Power District at 12 delivery points. The 34.5 kV and 69 kV transmission system is arranged to interconnect between the major delivery points and provide for reliability of power supply and flexibility of system operation. With the exception of public street and highway lighting, which are billed a flat monthly fee, all other customer services are metered. As of December 31, 2010, Norris Public Power District served a total of 40 villages at retail service and 4 villages at wholesale service.

Although approximately half of the District's electric energy sales are from commercial and industrial customers, the District's electric system is primarily a rural distribution system. Operating revenues increased from $46.3 million in 2009 to $51.8 million in 2010. The District was serving 18,048 customers as of December 31, 2010 compared to 18,002 customers as of December 31, 2009. 

Day to day operations of the District are managed by Jay Schulz, Interim General Manager & CEO. Norris employs 77 full-time staff members.
