EnergyUnited Presses Forward With 300 Strong Field Workers As Restoration Efforts Continue
EnergyUnited has made significant strides in restoring power to members affected by the catastrophic damage from Tropical Storm Helene. Members remaining without power can expect restoration by Tuesday, October 1 at 11 p.m. or sooner.
Despite encountering more devastation, including broken poles and spans of wire down, their 300 field workers are committed to safely restoring power in hard-to-access and inaccessible areas. Collapsed roads and downed trees have made it difficult for crews to access certain locations with vehicles. In these areas, linemen are using manual processes, including climbing poles, to complete repairs and restore service.
“We want to reassure our members that with 300 strong field workers, we are actively on the ground, facing these challenging conditions head on,” said Steve McCachern, vice president of energy delivery for EnergyUnited. “We are committed to pressing forward with our restoration efforts to restore power to our members as safely and efficiently as possible.”
The cooperative appreciates members remaining patient and understanding despite the hardships caused by the storm. Crews are resilient, overcoming many challenges while working extended hours to restore power to all affected members.
Members who are without power can locate estimated restoration times on the cooperative’s outage map.
