Safety Saturday: Safety is often a matter of being prepared in the case of an emergency. For linemen, that means regular training to rescue their coworkers from the top of a pole!
TVEC linemen took part in "Pole Top Rescue" practice this week, climbing a pole to 'rescue' a 180 pound training dummy.
Update: The work is complete and all member portal functions and payment options are back. Thank you for your patience as we keep our systems updated.
Member Alert: TVEC payment systems will be down for maintenance 6-7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 18.
This will affect payments online, via phone and on the My TVEC app.
Outage reporting by phone (800-967-9324) and outage texting will not be affected.
