Parts of North Platte went dark last night as the city had experienced a power outage or in this case, a power failure.
There were two outages, one starting at 6PM Labor Day September 3rd. The first outage was cause by a lightening arrestor that got burnt up. The second power outage occurred right after the first outage was dealt with. A switch gear at another substation malfunctioned and caused another power outage that business and homes felt.
Power was back on sometime around 10PM on Monday night.
