03/17/26 Outage Update – 2:15pm

Restoration efforts continue as we work through the final outages following the recent winter storm.

Heavy snowfall and snowdrifts have made access to some areas challenging, but efforts to clear roads are underway, and progress is being made so our crews can reach impacted equipment.

We plan to have another update later this evening.

03/17/26 – 9am – Outage Update

03/17/26 – 9am – Outage Update

We currently stand at 34 customers without power across 11 separate outages.
The good news is that the weather has calmed down, specifically the wind, and roads are continuing to be cleared, helping our crews access affected areas.

Steady progress was made through the night, with those efforts continuing into today. Crews will continue working towards full restoration of all customers affected by the outages.

If crews are working on the roadside, please slow down and give them plenty of space.

We appreciate your understanding as we continue these efforts.

We will be providing another update this afternoon.
