Inter-County Energy Continues Power Restoration Efforts After Widespread Outages

As of March 5 at 3:05 pm, Inter-County Energy has restored power to over 700 members since early this morning, but outages still stand at 2201. The energy provider has been working tirelessly to repair the damage caused by the recent storms and get the power back on for their customers.

Inter-County Energy Cooperative provides electric power to more than 26,500 member/owners across twelve counties, some of those in Garrard.

Inter-County Energy crews are working safely to get power restored to all affected members. However, each outage is different and presents unique challenges, making it hard to set estimated restoration times.

The restoration process varies for each member, and it is an intricate process that requires patience and expertise.

The community response to the situation has been remarkable, with members offering donuts, snacks, coffee, water, Gatorade, and other forms of assistance. Inter-County Energy expressed their gratitude to the community, stating that they "can't thank our members and community enough! You all are awesome! Most importantly, we appreciate your kindness and understanding during this time."

Inter-County Energy continues to urge their customers to be cautious and stay away from any downed power lines, as they may still be live and dangerous. Anyone who experiences a power outage should report it immediately to the company's outage hotline.

"Thank you for weathering the storm with us," Inter-County Energy said in a statement.
