SVEC Plans Power Outage

January 5, 2016

Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC) is planning an interruption in electric service beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, Jan. 18. The outage is expected to last three hours and is part of the process of constructing new facilities at the Monterey substation site to serve Highland County. The rain date is Jan. 25, and all work that can be done ahead of time will be finished.

SVEC encourages members to take appropriate preparatory action in advance of the planned outage. In the days before the event, members who will be affected should receive a phone call notifying them of the need for this service interruption. Also, SVEC is contacting emergency personnel in the area to ensure that people who require electric service because of a medical condition are aware of the outage. Anyone with questions or concerns can contact SVEC at 1-800-234-7832.
