Big telecom companies want to put profits over people — and MidSouth Electric Co-op and Rural Texans will pay the price. Dangerous new legislation could raise your electric bills, compromise safety and harm your co-op's ability to deliver reliable electricity. Your voice matters. Visit https://t.co/TmTODD8t0A to join us and tell your lawmakers to oppose these proposals. #Voices4coops

We had productive conversations and enjoyed our time discussing key issues in Washington D.C this week, including how the EPA Power Plant Rule is jeopardizing reliability and affordability. Electric right-of-way management in our National Forests and Wildfire Mitigation were also at the forefront of discussions with NRECA, Representative @RepMcCaul, the offices of Representatives @RepLuttrell and @PeteSessions, and Senator @tedcruz. #CoopsOnTheHill

@JohnEWilkinson1 @voices4coops Thank you. We appreciate you. It is our pleasure to serve you!

[MidSouth Electric Co-op @MidSouthEC]

Unfair legislation targeting your community will allow Big Corporations to access your property without notice. By attaching to MidSouth poles at below cost rates, these corporations will drive up electric prices and interfere with reliability.

Texas is almost out of one of our hottest summers recorded, but until then we need to band together as Texans to conserve electricity during the evenings.

TXANS Update—Sept. 7, 2023: ERCOT has issued a Conservation Appeal for today, Sept. 7, from 5 – 9 p.m. CT. Operating reserves are expected to be low this afternoon due to continued high temperatures, high demand, low wind, & declining solar power generation into the afternoon & evening hours. We request Texas businesses & residents conserve electricity use, if safe to do so. For more info, energy-saving tips, & to sign up for #TXANS emails, visit: https://t.co/j6PqHsLsHL.
