We currently have just over 300 members without power out of Willow Springs, Mountain View and Peace Valley. Dispatch is aware of these outages and crews have been dispatched. These outages have occurred with storms moving through the area. If you need to report an outage you may do so on the SmartHub mobile app or our website www.hoecoop.org.
We currently have more than 250 members without power due to storms that moved through the eastern part of our service area this afternoon. Dispatch is aware of these outages and crews have been dispatched. If you come across downed lines, please proceed with caution and stay away.
Due to extreme heat, HOEC has issued a PEAK ALERT. Please alternate or avoid use of major appliances (washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and stoves) from 2 pm until 7 pm today. Raise thermostats a few degrees if possible. If a new peak electrical demand is set it could cost the cooperative and members hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future.
Remember, you can make a difference.
There is a planned outage for 405 HOEC members on the Dora Substation on Wednesday, August 20, starting at 8:30 am and lasting up to 4 hours for system improvements that require de-energizing lines for safety. Notifications have been sent to included members who are registered for SmartHub. Thank you for your understanding during this planned event.
