Storm repairs update

April 27, 2010: Fortunately we have not experienced very many or very bad storms this winter.  We have had very little disruption in electric service. service. We are attributing this to the aggressive pole replacement program of the past few years.  Additionally, the storms have not caused ice to build up on the wire.  We will keep our fingers crossed through this active spring storm period.

April 27, 2010:  Update on Ekalaka Substation retrofit.  Thanks to our members relying on the Ekalaka and Box Elder substations for being so conscious of your electrical usage and getting us through the summer of 2009 after one of the tranformers quit. You reduced the electrical load during the heat of the day and peak-hours. It also helped that it was a cooler than normal summer.  Many did not even install air conditioners.

We are continuing the retrofit and hope to be completed this year.
