Custer Public Power District was organized on September 19, 1944, but it was not until the Fall of 1945 that the installation of poles, power lines and other equipment necessary to bring electricity to the rural home was finally completed and the first customers received power. Today Custer Power supplies electric power over 4600 miles of distribution lines, and is geographically the largest rural public power district in Nebraska serving over 8000 square miles of territory.
