SVEC Update – Hurricane Helene

LIVE OAK, Fla., October 5, 2024 (10:30 a.m.) –

This morning, 28,734 (99.5%) of Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative’s (SVEC) consumer-members have power. Crews are in the field again with the goal of restoring power to all the others who can safely receive it by the end of today. 

Adding to their task, storm-damaged trees and limbs falling on power lines are causing new outages. Several new outages have also occurred because repaired lines were torn down again by individuals clearing trees and other debris. 

For their safety and the welfare of others, SVEC reminds its members to be aware of the locations of power lines and exercise extreme caution when cleaning up debris around their property.
