Don’t forget to fall back! Remember to set your clocks back by one hour tonight.

We hope you have a safe and spooktacular Halloween weekend!

A big thank you to our line crews, engineering services department and dispatcher for all their hard work. Power was fully restored around noon today. Thank you to our members for your patience and cooperation! Also, please remember to always use the Outage Hotline: 866-244-4890 to report an outage. Our Facebook page is not monitored 24/7 so if you message or post your outage here, it will not be reported in a timely manner.

Crews have restored power to half of those affected by the remnants of Hurricane Zeta. Approximately 1398 members are still without power this morning, down from approximately 2800 around 6:30 a.m. Crews are dealing with trees and limbs on lines and one broken pole on Hwy 341, south of New Hope Road. A crew is on the scene working to replace the pole but that process takes a few hours under good conditions so please be patient!

Not only is October National Co-op Month, but it is also National Energy Action Month. When everyone is spending more time at home this fall, the lights, computers and TV are on almost all the time. That’s perfectly fine if family members are in the rooms where those devices are. But it’s a waste of energy if lights and electronics are on when nobody’s around. ... The best way to teach your children to avoid wasting electricity is to point out how your family could do better and engage them in the cure. Take a look at these easy examples.

To all the bosses out there, happy #nationalbossday! The only thing more important than liking what you're doing is liking the people you're doing it with.

Our payment system will be down for routine maintenance tonight, Oct. 15th, from 6-7 p.m.
