IN THE UTILITY BUSINESS, we know rough weather will occur, and sometimes power outages simply can’t be avoided. But did you know there are steps you can take to ensure that your electricity is restored as quickly and safely as possible?

If Nueces Electric Cooperative doesn’t have the correct phone number linked to your home address, it becomes much more difficult for you to report an outage. By keeping your contact information up-to-date, you can take full advantage of the services we offer.

It could be an industry game-changer

Thank you to all NEC members for helping to ensure restoration efforts are safe; and thank you for your patience and appreciation of the Line Crews who are working hard to restore power to all areas.

At the storms peak there were 1,186 members out of power.  The majority of the damage was in the Kleberg and Kennedy counties more specifically around the town of Rivera.  Just south of Rivera we had nine poles damaged due to what seemed like a tornado  based on the some of the field reports we received.
