FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

           PSC to hold virtual meetings

Lincoln, Thursday, March 19, 2020 – In a proactive effort and in
accordance with the guidelines limiting gathering size, the Nebraska
Public Service Commission will begin holding its meetings in a
virtual setting.

“By moving to a virtual environment, we will continue conducting
Commission business while at the same time putting the safety of 
our staff and citizens at the forefront,” said Commission Chair Mary
Ridder.

Beginning with the Commission’s meeting on Tuesday, March 24,
the public will be able to attend meetings telephonically. Information
on how the public will be able to participate will be posted on
meeting agendas. Commission agendas are posted to the PSC
website calendar, by 10:00 a.m., the day prior to a meeting being
held.

Commissioner Ridder said, “Industry and citizens wishing to
participate in our meetings, can access the phone number and
attendee code provided prior to each meeting. This will be an
interactive process and just like our regular meetings will provide
a time for public comment.”

In continuing efforts to help reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus,
the PSC will no longer be accepting walk-in business. Those doing
business with the PSC should email, mail, call or fax their
information, applications, or concerns to the PSC.

“A list of contacts for all of our departments can be found on the
PSC website,” said PSC executive director Mike Hybl. “We want to
thank everyone in advance for their cooperation and encourage you
to reach out to us by the means provided.”

The PSC will work to provide information on its website <
www.psc.nebraska.gov > and through its social media. Connect with
