Outage Update: 4:15 p.m. - Crews from Tri County Electric Co-op and Grayson Collin Electric Co-op have joined TVEC crews to speed up restoration efforts. Because of the large number of individual and small location outages from this storm, restoration is taking much longer than usual. ![]()
![]()
Coffee City: Repairs are taking longer than expected, but should be wrapping up very soon. Any additional outages that may be hiding in the larger outage will be worked as soon as possible.![]()
![]()
Outage Update: Coffee City Large Outages - Crews are working to finish up what has been a total of five replacement poles. Restoration of the majority of the outage is expected by 4 p.m. There may be additional repairs to be made for smaller areas within the current outage.![]()

Outage Update 9:30 a.m. - About 2,500 TVEC members remain without power this morning, with steady progress being made by lineworkers and system operators. As mentioned earlier, the sheer number of separated single and small area outages with this storm means it is a very time consuming process driving, troubleshooting and repairing each trouble spot. Additional contractors as well as mutual aid crews from at least one other co-op are coming to assist, as well as our excellent tree trimming contractors.![]()

Daylight should speed progress. Unfortunately there are many scattered small outages, where each one could be as simple as a fuse replacement or as complicated as removing a large tree or replacing a transformer. Thank you for your patience as our crews work as quickly and safely as possible. ![]()

Due to the number of separate outages, some could last into the day on Monday. Crews must work from substations outward, while working with system operators to ensure no lines are energized where other crews could be working in harm’s way. You can be sure that they are working to restore power as quickly as possible to all members.![]()
