During the storm
LCEC IS READY
LCEC has partnerships with power line and tree-trimming contractors, fuel companies, material vendors, food service vendors, other cooperatives and local agencies for mutual aid to ensure that we are ready for restoration. Before the storm makes impact, LCEC recruits additional resources, suppliers, and logistic support so that as soon as it is safe, restoration work can begin.
Additionally, each of the 400+ LCEC employees play a critical role in the restoration plan. Employees put their typical job and personal responsibilities on hold to pitch in during restoration. From assessing damage to leading out-of-state crews, and even doing laundry for linemen, every employee has a vital role.
LCEC DOES NOT TURN OFF THE POWER
LCEC does not disconnect power before a storm. We let Mother Nature run her course and begin to restore power to impacted areas once winds are at a safe level to work.
