Scammers change their strategies often. We ask customers to stay wary of scammers that spoof LES. 🔍
We will NOT:
⚡offer extra services such as security systems, home warranties, etc.
⚡threaten disconnection if you do not make an immediate payment.

We WILL:
⚡ask for account information when you call our Customer Care team at 402.475.4211.

If you do answer a suspicious call, we urge you to hang up and call LES at 402.475.4211. Stay vigilant! 🧡

At the peak of last night’s storm, we had just under 1,300 customers with no power. The storm did a lot of damage, including 9 broken poles our crews found in the aftermath.
As of 12:30 p.m., there are 102 customers without power. Our crews are working extensively to assess damage, find repairs and turn lights back on. If all goes well, we expect most customers to be restored by mid-afternoon.
Customers who have been affected by broken poles are estimated to be restored late this evening. Broken poles take time to fix. We ask that you plan accordingly and keep checking the outage map for updates at LES.com/outage-center. 🧡

While 2025 marked many milestones in LES’ history, one milestone will shape our utility for years to come. In August, the LES Administrative Board unanimously approved Powering LES Forward, our new strategic plan — the culmination of nearly a year of collaboration, listening and focused work. Visit LES.com/AnnualReport for a closer look. 🧡
