UPDATE: A transformer failed and will be changed out this morning to restore power to the 466 members south of West Plains. Thank you for your patience.

At the time of this posting we have 466 members without power, primarily south and west of West Plains and Highway 63. Crews are on the way to determine and repair the issue.

The HOEC office will be closed Monday May 25th in observance of Memorial Day, as we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave all in service to our country. Dispatchers will be available in the event of a power outage. Outages may be reported with the SmartHub link at top-right, or in the SmartHub mobile app, or by phone at 417-256-2131.

We wish you all a safe Memorial Day weekend.
