EREC Crews Head To Kentucky To Assist With Power Restoration Follow Big Storms

March 6, 2023

Crews from Escambia River Electric Cooperative departed early Sunday morning to help Farmers RCCC in Kentucky restore power.

Storms with near hurricane force winds moved through Kentucky on Friday, leaving 16,000 Farmers customers without power in Glasgow and other communities east and northeast of Bowling Green, Kentucky.

By Sunday, about 10,000 customers had been restored, according to Farmers.

    Thank you EREC!

    Many of my family and friends have been without power for the last couple of days and I know that they are truly appreciative for all who are helping.

    THANK YOU EREC

    We moved from Escambia County 23 years ago, went through many hurricaines there. Now live close to Glasgow Kentucky, It wasnt a hurricaine but it sure reminded me of them. Our Electric was off only 10 Hrs. But many of our friends are still out.

    I still look at Northescambia.com every morning. Glad to have you helping out.

    THANKS AGAIN
