Final Update from Shadon Blum, CEO
After four days of restoration, our crews have all residential services restored. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our mutual aid crews from Franklin REC, TIP Rural Electric Cooperative and Intren. We also again want to thank our members for their support and patience as we worked to bring the lights back on.
With spring and planting season coming upon us, we want to advise farmers who had damage near their fields to show caution as they begin to make their way into the fields with their equipment. There are still broken poles throughout the system and other damage that we will continue to work to clean up as time goes on. If you need to get into a field there is an obstacle that may be in your way or cause issues, please contact our office and we will make arrangements for you to begin planting safely.
This will be the final update from this storm but we will provide an additional briefing in the future with more details on affected members from this system wide outage.
Again, we thank everyone for the support and encouragement as we continue to #PowerOn.
Switch Makes Cents
Load management is one of the easiest ways for members to become active in their cooperative and save some money on their electric bills. The program assists your cooperative by deferring the need to construct additional power plants or purchase power from external sources to meet the energy needs of our members. Load management programs give cooperative members the power to become partners in the effort to positively influence electricity rates
