CREWE, Va. (WWBT) - Southside Electric Cooperative has increased its line crews working to restore power outages thanks to mutual aid and contract crews.
Crews from five states and neighboring Virginia Electric Cooperatives and contract crews, including Dominion Energy, are assisting SEC’s restoration efforts after Winter Storms Tabitha knocked out power to 80 percent of members.
“We are grateful to our Cooperative mutual-aid and contract crews, and thankful to Dominion and their contract crews for providing assistance to our crews who have been working around the clock since last Saturday to restore power to our members,” said SEC President and CEO Jeff Edwards.
