Hurricane Hanna Restoration Update: 7/26, 9 pm

260 NEC members remain without power at this time. NEC line workers have demonstrated they are true heros today and they aren't done yet as they work to get the lights back on for the last 260 members. They appreciate you, our member's, patience throughout this restoration process. The kind words of thanks and wishes for their safety from each of you while they work through the stormy conditions to restore power are very much appreciated. Many of these final outages are smaller, individual outages and damage will take longer to repair.

Hurricane Hanna Restoration Update: 7/26, 9 am

Winds have died down and NEC crews are hard at work restoring power to about 3,800 members impacted by the storm. About 1600 members in the Ricardo, Rivera, and Sarita area remain without power due to a loss of transmission poles. Our partner, STEC is working on the restoration and we hope to have these members back up soon. Other damage appears to be largely due to trees and limbs in power lines. NEC's crews continue to work and more updates will be provided as available.

Hurricane Hanna Update 7/25, 8 pm

NEC members in the Kingsville, Ricardo, Riviera and Sarita areas have been heavily impacted by Hurricane Hanna as they experience a widespread outage due to the damaged transmission system of South Texas Electric Cooperative (STEC). Almost 2,700 members are currently without power in that area, and the outage will last for an extended period of time due to the unsafe conditions that currently exist in the area with continued high winds. STEC will address the area damage as soon as it's safe to do so. NEC crews will also support the effort.
