EREC, Southern Pine Crews Helping With Power Restoration
October 14, 2018
Escambia River Electric Cooperative in Jay sent line crews to sister cooperative Gulf Coast Electric Co-op in Wewahitchka, Florida. Gulf Coast EC’s entire power system is down following Hurricane Michael.
“These power restoration efforts hit close to home,” says Clay Campbell, general manager/CEO. “Cooperatives within our generation and transmission power group were hit hard by this hurricane. These co-ops are an extension of our cooperative family, and we want to do all we can to help them get back on their feet.”
EREC will assist Gulf Coast with power restoration after Hurricane Michael’s devastation. EREC has also sent supplies such as bunk trailers, cots and ice to assist Gulf Coast EC as the rebuilding of their communities gets underway.
Southern Pine Electric Cooperative
Southern Pine Electric Cooperative, based in Brewton, sent several linemen and employees to Wiregrass Electric Cooperative in Hartford, AL, to help restore power on that system.
