Loco restored

The Loco substation is up and running. Power has been restored to all but about 50 members in the Duncan area.

Outage update

At noon, we were working on about a dozen outages, most in the eastern half of the Cotton Electric service area. Many are due to broken poles. Western Farmers also has transmission poles down. As a result, the substation at Loco is down, affecting 573 members. A pole down near Duncan is affecting 45 members. Crews have been working since early this morning to restore power.

First posting

Greetings to all!
This first posting comes on a stormy day. It has been raining heavily in the Cotton Electric service area for several hours. Lots of lightning, unfortunately, means outages. At this moment, there are six reported outages affecting nearly 600 members. Crews have been dispatched and we'll get the power back on as quickly as possible. Check back for updates.
