Welcome 2025!
As 2024 draws to a close, Stanton County Public Power District reflects on a year marked by growth, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to service excellence. Guided by a dedication to powering our communities safely and reliably, SCPPD has made strides across multiple areas from operational advancements to community engagement. This year-end review highlights some of our key accomplishments, challenges faced, and future goals for 2025.
This year, SCPPD implemented several significant upgrades aimed at enhancing system reliability and efficiency. We continue to invest heavily in our power grid infrastructure, strengthening our ability to respond to outages, manage load demands, and optimize energy distribution. A major advancement in 2024 has been our partnership with Nebraska Public Power District for after-hours dispatching and call services. This collaboration adds an essential layer of safety for our linemen, allowing them to focus fully on resolving outages without needing to field numerous calls. Additionally, the after-hours dispatcher checks in with our linemen at least every hour during outages to ensure their wellbeing, providing invaluable support when it’s needed most.
Financial responsibility remains a cornerstone of SCPPD’s operations, and 2024 was a strong year. Through careful budget management and targeted investments, we ensured fiscal health while continuing to enhance service delivery and grid reliability. This year, we invested in essential
infrastructure projects without compromising on our commitment to maintaining affordable rates for our customers. Transparency in financial stewardship is vital to us, and our community’s trust is something we strive to honor by being diligent in every aspect of financial planning.
At the heart of SCPPD’s mission is our dedication to the communities we serve. In 2024, SCPPD engaged in numerous initiatives designed to support and educate our community. These included energy conservation practices through ads and social media, participating in local events, and strengthening partnerships with local schools to promote
energy and safety education. Our commitment to the community extends beyond simply supplying power; it’s about empowering our residents with knowledge and resources to make energy-conscious decisions and fostering connections that bring us closer together.
This year presented a variety of challenges, from supply chain disruptions to extreme weather events that tested our infrastructure and response strategies. However, SCPPD’s team rose to the occasion, demonstrating resilience and adaptability. Our crews worked tirelessly during peak challenges, ensuring minimal disruption to service, and our continued investment in emergency preparedness proved
invaluable. These experiences have not only strengthened our operations but also reinforced our readiness for future challenges.
As we look toward 2025, SCPPD remains committed to enhancing service quality and embracing innovation. Our plans include the continued investment in grid reliability and furthering our community outreach efforts, just to name a couple. The year ahead promises to be one of continued progress with a focus on delivering safe, reliable and affordable power to our customers. Reflecting on 2024, I would like to express gratitude to our customers, and the dedicated staff who make it all possible. Our commitment to serving our customers remains as strong as ever. We’re proud of the progress made this year and are
excited to build on these successes in 2025.
Thank you for your support throughout 2024—we look
forward to an even brighter year ahead!
The holiday season is just around the corner and soon, festive music will flood the airwaves, sparkling
