Manufacturing Engineering Manager, West Plains, MO (physically located in Pomona, MO)

Representatives with Davey Resource Group (DRG) will be working in the West Plains area to GPS some of our underground lines. DRG is a contractor for Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative. This project will require their field representative to approach lines that may be on personal property. The field representative will have credentials with them and their vehicle will be identified as a contractor for HOEC.

We have been receiving reports of several scam calls. A member stated they received a call from someone requesting immediate payment on their utility bill. It is not standard practice for Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative to call members and ask for immediate payments over the phone. Any member who receives such a call should hang up immediately. Do NOT give any payment information, such as credit or debit card information, over the phone.

The Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative business office will be closed on Monday, September 6th in observance of the Labor Day holiday. Dispatchers will remain on duty to assist you in the event of a power outage.

An outage may be reported by calling 417-256-2131 or toll-free 1-888-HOE-POWER or by filling out the Report an Outage form on this website, or through the SmartHub app.

During hot and humid days of summer it's important to remember to participate in HOEC's Peak Alert program.

With students returning to schools this week it is more important than ever to be a safe driver:

Damon Sewell, a high school science teacher at Bakersfield High School represented Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative by attending the “Energy in Today’s Classroom” Teacher Education program held at the University of Missouri, Columbia. The program gave a firsthand experience on how energy is produced and transmitted from source to farm and home.
