Some EREC Customers Left In The Cold Without Power
January 10, 2010
An unknown number of Escambia River Electric Cooperative customers lost power in the Oak Grove, Walnut Hill, Bay Springs and Enon areas Sunday morning for as long as two and a half hours.
[UPDATE] After power was restored for most customers, it failed again just before 11 a.m. and was restored again by about 11:20.
Our previous story is below.
EREC customers in the Oak Grove and Walnut Hill areas had their power restored by just after 10 a.m., while power remained off for customers served off a line along South Highway 99, including portions of Walnut Hill, Enon, Bay Springs, Crabtree Church Road and Barrineau Park.
Most customers, except for those in the Crabtree Church Road and Barrineau Park areas were restored by 10:45 a.m. Those EREC had their power restored by 10:55 a.m.

Well, I am just thankful it came back on when it did – Thanks to everyone that helped get it back on!
Hats off to all the men at the electric company who go out and brave the cold to restore our power and the women who back that up. We know you are doing all you can and more. Thank you. Its management that controls your priorities!!!! politics!!
Here is why you can lose power in cold weather. With as many lighting strikes as we have in thunder storms it weakens the power transformers and they fail during extreame demands ( like your battery in your automobile in cold weather ). So don,t blame the power companies there are out there working to get power restored. Show some appreciation I’m sure they would like this.
Customers on South Pine Barren Road in McDavid (Bogia) was also without power.
Ruby… Not real sure why it was out, but it was probably due to the cold weather acting on the power lines; sometimes this will happen…
Does anyone know what happened and why we were out of power for almost 2 1/2 hours?
I live on Crabtree and my power went out at 9:05 and finally came on for good at 11:24. It was starting to get COLD! Thank goodness it’s on now.
I surely hope that EREC gets all of this power up soon for everyone, it’s too cold to be without heat…
