West Florida Electric Cooperative addressed updated statistics concerning customer power outages at Noon on Tuesday, August 17, 2021.
There are currently 5,222 meters without power in all 4 counties served by the co-op. This is down from over 10,000 last evening.
We understand that being without power, especially for an extended period of time, is an inconvenience for everyone.
We also understand why members want to know when their power will be restored.
We are sorry but unfortunately, we can’t provide specific location updates or timeframes when we are dealing with wide-spread outages that affect so many people.
What we can tell you is that a crew has been assigned specially to each area, even if you can’t see them on your street, they’re working as quickly but safely as possible to restore power to each and every member.
We want everyone’s power restored as soon as it possibly can be and will utilize all the resources available to us to achieve this goal.
Please remember that crews have a very dangerous job and that their safety is our number one priority during outage restoration efforts.
We appreciate all of the patience and kind words and understanding that have been shown to us and our crews.
