Norfolk-Stanton North Project

The Norfolk-Stanton North Project officially kicked off with a Notice to Construct from Southwest Power Pool on October 10, 2023. The new 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line will accommodate current and projected future loads and provide additional reliability and enhanced resiliency for the Stanton, Cuming, and Burt County areas. After just over two years of public involvement, easement acquisition, and construction, the transmission line was officially deemed complete in December 2025.

NPPD’s consultant, Westwood, used drones to conduct as-built surveys of the finished line during the week of December 15. Construction crews have removed material and equipment from material yards and are restoring properties, as needed. Right-of-Way (ROW) Agents, Neal and Andrew, are contacting each landowner along the route to settle any property damages that may have occurred during construction.

We appreciate the cooperation of the landowners and the public throughout this entire process. As they say, “It takes a village.” Thank you to HDR Engineering (engineering services), Dietzel Enterprises Inc. (foundation support), Norfolk Tree Care, LLC (tree clearing), JEO Consulting Group (survey services), Westwood Professional Services (aerial survey services), Irby Utilities (steel poles), Wesco (line conductor), Terracon (soil borings), and to Stanton County Public Power for relocating its distribution line.
