Reliability Maintained — One Pole at a Time
Utility poles are a familiar part of the landscape across REC’s service territory. They support the system that powers homes, farms, schools and businesses.
But poles do much more than hold wires. Depending on their location, they may carry electric lines, fiber-optic cable and communications equipment. They can also support transformers that lower voltage, insulators that separate energized wires, and protective devices such as fuses, cutouts, switches and surge arresters. Together, this equipment helps REC deliver power safely, isolate problems and restore service.
Understanding Your New REC Bill
Beginning with bills issued in October, REC members will see an updated bill designed to make important account information easier to find and understand. The upated layout puts your total amount due and due date front and center while clearly organizing energy use, payment history, current charges and member resources.
Emergency Preparedness Is A Team Effort
Each September, National Preparedness Month serves as a reminder that preparation is a shared responsibility. REC, local emergency responders and member-owners all have a role in helping communities stay safe and recover when severe weather or other unexpected events occur.
