The predicted track of Hurricane Irma has moved west, so SVEC has requested 23 crews from co-ops outside of the storm area to arrive in Live Oak on Tuesday. These crews will augment the 14 SVEC crews and 3 contractor crews that are already prepared to respond to damage caused by the storm.
Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) has activated its Emergency Response Plan in anticipation of potentially severe weather from Hurricane Irma. “We’ve incorporated lessons learned from Hurricane Hermine into our plan, and every employee is ready to fulfill their role in meeting the needs of our members,” said SVEC’s CEO, Michael McWaters.
Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative’s Cooperative Solar Program is now under way. The program is a partnership between SVEC and its wholesale power provider, Seminole Electric Cooperative.
For the second year in a row, Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) has contributed $5,000 to United Way of Suwannee Valley through the efforts of its employees and a matching grant from CoBank. SVEC qualified for CoBank’s $5,000 grant by raising $6,027 for the United Way during the cooperative’s annual employee giving campaign.
Scammers are calling Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) members, pretending to be from a collection agency acting on behalf of the co-op. The scammers threaten to disconnect electric service unless they are given personal information, such as a bank account number, or paid with a credit or debit card.
