***ALL SUBSTATIONS ARE NOW ENERGIZED; MORE MEMBERS COMING ONLINE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS***

PICKENS, South Carolina — All Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative substations are now online and energized.

On Friday, 13 substations were offline due to Tropical Storm Helene’s damage to Duke Energy’s transmission lines. The Crossroads community in Pickens County was the final substation to be restored today. More than 2,000 members have already had their power restored this morning. We are grateful for the collective work done between Duke Energy and our cooperative in restoring transmission service.
