Managing Power Outages

While we can’t tame Mother Nature’s occasional rage, we do a variety of things to help keep power outages from occurring and to keep them as brief as possible when they do occur. 

These efforts include: 

• Scheduling regular maintenance of lines and equipment.
• Trimming trees to keep them away from lines and equipment.
• Investing in technology to monitor our system and identify potential problems.
• Maintaining an outage response plan to ensure outages are repaired quickly.
• Monitoring weather forecasts to adequately manage staffing.
• Maintaining close contact with other electric cooperatives in the region to ensure that additional assistance is available if needed.
