Our crew worked in the winter storm last night to repair a low line in Worcester County before heavy snowfall caused it to sag further. This preventative measure ensured no damage to vehicles below and no power outages. Thank you to our member who reported this low line!

With a BIG and exciting weekend of football ahead of us remember our linemen don't get 4 downs to go ten yards or TV timeouts or coach's challenges... They complete all jobs in a safe, timely and professional manner 100% of the time and do so without fanfare. Thank you.

NEVER RUN A GENERATOR INSIDE! When using a generator, NEVER run it inside your home or garage. They produce carbon monoxide fumes, which can be deadly.

Outage: Call or text OUT to 1-800-410-4790

We are proud to support the Be a Santa to a Senior program though Home Instead of the Eastern Shore. We wish all the gift givers, merchants, and seniors a very Merry Christmas! Thanks Home Instead for organizing and earning the VMDAEC Good Samaritan Award for 2024!

Take a tip from Santa! During the holiday season, a lower thermostat setting = more presents under the tree. 🎄🎁 #saveenergy

Here's to a solid hunting season but please DON'T SHOOT THE LINES. Our power lines and utility poles are the foundation of how we all enjoy the comforts, convenience and the power of reliable electricity and quality internet. When a line is shot outages and injuries happen.
