The weather outside is beautiful, and it is time to put away those long sleeves. Stop by CARE and pick up a Gateway to the Delta Festival t-shirt from years past for only $10. (Now, that is a bargain!)

⚡ Restoration Continues — Highlighting Our Engineers ⚡

While boots are on the ground and crews are working in the field, another vital group is working just as hard behind the scenes — our TVEPA engineers. During restoration efforts, our engineers serve in many critical roles — from assessing system damage and ensuring essential materials like transformers and hardware are available, to mapping sections of line that have been rebuilt or repaired. They also coordinate switching, support line crews, and carefully document every step of the process to ensure safe, accurate, and reliable restoration. Our engineers manage the entire electric grid and truly know the system like the back of their hand.
When repairs on a line are complete and inspections are finished, the moment an engineer can safely energize that line — restoring power, safety, and comfort to homes and businesses — is indescribable.

We give our sincerest appreciation to these dedicated men who start their days long before daylight and work well into the night. We are incredibly thankful for our team of engineers and the critical role they play in keeping power flowing safely for our members.

*We will post today's list of work areas as soon as it is received.

*We want to explain that in order to manage several hundred posts each day, we turn comments off of the previous day's post. This way, we can be sure we do not miss anyone, not to prevent communication being a two-way street. Thank you for your understanding.t
