Power Outages
why does my power go out?
ARROWHEAD ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC.
Weather Related:
Most power outages are due to
inclement weather such as high winds, ice, and heavy
snows. During these storms AECI works to restore your power as quickly as possible - so
long as it is safe for our employees to do so.
Planned Outages:
On occasion AECI must intentionally create a power outage in order to finish a project or do
some work. This type of outage is rare and generally affects a minimal amount of members.
When large outages are planned we post an announcement on Boreal & provide WTIP (90.7
& 91.7 FM) with a public service announcement.
A special note to members with Underground Power lines:
Underground Power lines do NOT eliminate the potential for you to have a power outage.
Beginning at our substations, most Power lines are Overhead until a certain point. During a
storm, if a tree falls on an overhead line which is providing power to your underground line
you may incur a power outage.
Additionally, in other situations the underground power line can be
nicked, cut by rock, tree
roots or those who may be digging without first calling
