As of 7 a.m. this morning, Thursday, January 26, Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative has just more than 11,000 members without power across the six-county service area. With a total of just more than 25,000 meters this is around half our membership.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to safely restore power outages due to the damage from the wet, heavy snow we received overnight. We currently have 13,956 members of our 25,374 without power, meaning more than half of our members are without power. This unprecedently heavy snow has brought limbs, trees and lines down across our service area making some areas difficult to reach.
Approximately 13,300 members are without power following the snowstorm that blanketed the area in heavy, wet snow. While it is still too early to know the extent of all the damage, the snow brought trees and limbs down, many of which caused power outages for our members. Our crews were dispatched immediately to begin working to safely restore power and worked throughout the night.
