The 17-person crew from the Omaha Public Power District continues to work provide mutual aid to restore power to thousands after severe storms hit Iowa and Illinois earlier this week, and the power district says the Omaha technicians are now working in western Illinois.
OPPD received a request for assistance through the mutual aid process, similar to OPPD asking for help from neighboring utilities following severe weather June 26th.
MidAmerican Energy sent crews to help in the eastern Nebraska restoration efforts.
