Crews working to restore Power

Crews with Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative are working to restore power in six service areas, explains Terry Ballenger manager of communications for Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative. “In Oconee County we’ve got 31 members without power and we’ve got crews assigned to the three outages in all. We’ve got 68 people out in Greenville County and we’ve got crews assigned there. Then we have a main circuit to go out in northeastern Pickens County and that took about 600 people out, so we’ve got crews assigned to get that repaired as well. Overall, that is about 710 people out system wide.” To report an outage to Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative, call 1-888-BLUE-RIDGE.
