Northeast Power

The Dr. David F. Johnson Jr. Solar Facility near Osmond is beginning to take shape as crews have started installing solar panels at the site.

Once complete, the facility will feature 2.5 MW of solar generation paired with a 2 MW, four-hour battery energy storage system, providing both locally generated power and energy storage to help support the electric grid, improve reliability, and help stabilize rates.

To put the project's size into perspective, the facility is expected to generate enough electricity annually to serve nearly 400 homes—more than the total number of homes located within the City of Osmond.

Thank you to our employees, contractors, landowners, and community partners who are helping make this project a reality. We look forward to sharing additional progress updates as construction continues.

Our crew is at it again—helping make our communities a little safer and more comfortable! ☀️

This week, the Northeast Power team assisted with the installation of new sunshades at Pender Park. These shades will help provide protection from harmful UV rays, giving children and families a cooler place to enjoy the playground during the hot summer months.

We're proud to support projects that enhance the quality of life in the communities we serve. Small improvements can make a big difference, especially when it comes to creating safe spaces for kids to play and make memories.

Great job to our crew for stepping up and making a positive impact once again! 💙💚

🎉 Congratulations to Toby on His Promotion to Journeyman Lineman! 🎉
Please join us in congratulating Toby, a Wayne, Nebraska native, on reaching an important career milestone with his promotion to Journeyman Lineman!
This achievement reflects Toby’s dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence. He successfully completed the rigorous apprenticeship program, which requires four years of training, 8,000 hours of on-the-job experience, or an equivalent combination of training and work experience.

Throughout the program, Toby demonstrated the skills, determination, and professionalism needed to succeed in the trade. We are proud of his accomplishment and excited to see the continued impact he will make in his career.

👏 Congratulations, Toby, on this well-deserved achievement! We look forward to watching your continued success.

We're honored to have assisted Northeast Nebraska Heath Department by installing sun shades they provided to Humpty Dumpty Daycare in Wakefield, NE.☀️

Providing a safer, more comfortable outdoor space for children to learn and play is something we're proud to support. Thank you to Humpty Dumpty Daycare and Northeast Nebraska Health Department for allowing us to be a part of this improvement.

Community partnerships like these help make our area a better place for everyone. 💙💚

☀️ Summer is a great time to enjoy the outdoors, but rising temperatures can increase the risk of heat-related illnesses. Whether you're working outside, exercising, or spending time with family and friends, taking a few simple precautions can help you stay safe.
