Custer Public Power District Office

Custer Public Power District was organized on September 19, 1944, but it was not until the Fall of 1945 that the installation of poles, power lines and other equipment necessary to bring electricity to the rural home was finally completed and the first customers received power. Today Custer Power supplies electric power over 4600 miles of distribution lines, and is geographically the largest rural public power district in Nebraska serving over 8000 square miles of territory.

Service Area

Custer Public Power District, headquartered in Broken Bow, Nebraska, is geographically the largest rural public power district in Nebraska serving over 8000 square miles of territory.

Custer PPD supplies electric power over 4600 miles of distribution lines to Custer, Thomas, Blaine, Logan, McPherson, Loup, and Hooker counties plus portions of Sherman, Dawson, Cherry, Lincoln, Brown, and Garfield counties. Custer is divded into six service areas, two areas are served out of the main headquarters in Broken Bow. The other four areas have their own service centers strategically located within their service area. This concept places our service personnel closer to the customer. We maintain Area Service Centers in Sargent, Callaway, Stapleton, and Thedford, Nebraska, providing top-notch service to our customer/owners.

Our mission is to safely deliver electricity to our customer/owners, keep the District in a sound financial position, and exceed expectations in service and reliability.
