July 7th 7:30pm Outage Update⚡️

Mother Nature strikes again- 🌧️⛈️🌫️

We are aware of rising outages due to excessive amounts of rain in Lancing, Deer Lodge, and parts of Sunbright areas.

Heavy rain with already saturated soil causes weakened root systems which lead to trees leaning, falling, and taking down power lines in their path. Right when we thought we were back to normal.

We are here to serve you, crews are responding to the outages as we speak.⚡️ ... See MoreSee Less

July 6th Outage Update ⚡️🪾3:15pm
Guess who’s back…. back again? Plateaus back, so tell a friend!

Another day another tree to cut! Here’s a few pictures of the mess & damage crews are facing trying to restore power. We’re sitting at roughly 70 members without electricity.

Crews came in at 6am to get a bright and early start on restoration efforts for the day. As you can see, the one thing many of these outages have in common is fallen trees, broken poles, and downed power lines.

Here’s your daily reminder to NEVER go near downed powerlines, as they are not only dangerous but life-threatening. ⚠️🔥‼️⚡️

We are grateful for the dedication and hard work these crews never fail to provide.

Crews from PEC, PVEC, Holston Electric, and Dark Horse Electric have been trimming trees, clearing roadways, and rebuilding many spans of power lines to restore power to each of you. Some things go without saying, but today & everyday- thank you God for our team, and our lineman. The ones who have come near and far! We couldn’t do what we do without the help of every person. ...

6/5 Outage Update 9:20pm ⚡️🌲🪾

It's safe to say this holiday weekend definitely started off with a BOOM! 🎇

Crews have really made some headway today. This morning we started with well over 1,200 members without power and are nearing the end of the day with a little over 258 remaining outages. Crews have been working nonstop since they came in this morning at 6am to make the most of their day. These guys push themselves to incredible limits because they take it personal. They don’t just see an outage, they see families with children or elderly, and they sacrifice time with their own to bring you their best.

We are sending all of our crews to take a mandatory rest at 10pm tonight and will start back at 6am tomorrow.

Continued prayers for all our crews are greatly appreciated as they prepare for another day ahead. A special thank you to YOU our members for your cooperation and understanding!⚡️⚡️ We are grateful to serve you and thankful for the amazing people of the Plateau! #CommunityStrong ... See MoreSee Less
