HOEC participated in the Willow Springs Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 7th. Team members decorated a demonstration trailer with lights and tinsel and won 1st Place! Thank you to the Willow Springs Chamber of Commerce for the honor.
It's a relief when severe storms subside, but look out for power lines. Snow and ice could be concealing them. Learn more winter safety tips.
Never pile snow near a power line. Learn more electric safety tips at energizingsafety.coop.
HOEC will be giving away 5 Christmas Hams through the HOEC facebook page. We will draw for these hams on December 13. You have until noon to get registered that day. Visit the HOEC facebook page for more information. Good luck and Merry Christmas!
During this time of year, when we are feeling gracious and giving, some groups and individuals will try to use that to profit for themselves. Don't fall victim to scams during this season. If you receive an email that looks suspicious or is asking for money, always call the number you have for the company or business, NOT one provided in the email.
Heading out of town during the holiday season? Set your home to "vacation mode" and save energy while you're away!
As the weather turns colder, we see communities, businesses and homes start to brighten up with holiday decorations and lights. But is it worth it to upgrade to LED Christmas lights? Yes! LED holiday lights offer a lower energy cost alternative to regular incandescent light strings and are a great way to show your holiday spirit while maintaining your smart energy sense.
We currently have a wide spread outage in the Willow Springs area. The issue appears to be on the Sho-Me Power side in the substation at Willow. Crews from Sho-Me have been dispatched. If you need to report an outage, you may use the SmartHub Mobile App on your iPhone or Android smartphone, or the website at www.hoecoop.org.
Currently we have 384 members without power. These members are served out of the Koshkonong substation. This outage affects members in the Koshkonong area and reaches down to Thayer - areas west of Hwy 63 to the Arkansas border - and up across Hwy 63 north to Route Z. Crews have been dispatched and are working to resolve the issue.
Approximately 300 members in the Koshkonong area are experiencing an outage. Crews have been dispatched. Remember… if you see a downed power line stay away from it and let us know.
