As a utility provider, Tri-County Electric Cooperative is an essential service. The COVID-19 pandemic will not keep us from providing safe and reliable service to our member-owners.

If you are facing difficult times due to COVID-19, please contact our Member Services department.

Same Co-op. Same Service. New Practices.

Tri-County Electric Cooperative is taking precautions to ensure the safety of our employees, members and our communities during this unprecedented time.

Cleaning and Sanitizing:

• All co-op facilities are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with the new CDC guidelines on Fridays to reduce the possible spread of the virus.
• Offices and facilities are cleaned and sanitized nightly, Monday through Thursday. 

Employee Personal Protective Equipment

• Hand sanitizer is available for all employees to use at their desks, stations and vehicles. 
• All co-op employees received PPE to protect themselves from the virus.
• Employees who interact with the membership and public, such as cashiers, linemen and staking engineers, received additional PPE.
• We practice social distancing by only allowing one person in common areas, such as bathrooms and break areas. We also transitioned all meetings to virtual meetings. 

 

We are still here for you. We have not stopped our services.

Your cooperative continues system maintenance, such as linework, tree trimming and the Advanced Member Power meter upgrade, during this time.

Advanced Member Power Meter Upgrade

• The AMP meter upgrade project will continue. Our current metering system is approaching its end of life, so continuing the project will allow us to continue serving our members. 
• Continuing the project will allow us to offer additional member benefits, such as outage data, and near future member benefits, such as prepay.
• Employees and contractors have been given guidelines to help insure your safety, as well as their own.
• Learn more about the AMP meter upgrade project here.

System Maintenance

• Normal system maintenance is necessary to uphold a reliable grid to continue to power member homes and business.
• If you see our crews working, please make sure to practice social distancing. Healthy linemen help keep your life powered.
