Omaha Public Power District is conducting drone inspections of various substations throughout its service territory this week.
The inspections began this morning and are planned to take place over the course of four days, going through Thursday, Aug. 29. The exact schedule could change, depending upon weather conditions.
Aerial surveys and inspections – using both drones and helicopters – are a regular part of OPPD's maintenance to ensure reliable power for customers. This latest effort is a continuation of this commitment to maintaining and improving the reliability of our infrastructure, specifically our substations.
OPPD’s contractor for this work will notify local airfields and area aviation agencies of route specifics and timelines.
