Power Restoration Continues at SVEC

During the night, power was restored to an additional 2,040 SVEC consumer-members. This morning, efforts continue with a workforce of 522 in the field. All substation feeders are now energized, which allows crews to focus on smaller tap lines and individual service lines.

SVEC employees and contractors are working tirelessly to restore service as quickly and safely as possible. The goal is to restore service to the vast majority of the cooperative's consumer-members by 9:00 p.m. tomorrow (Thursday). However, flooding or damage to consumer-members' electrical equipment could extend the restoration time for some.
