Tri-County Electric Cooperative is working on system improvements to address the outages that occurred in the Keller area starting July 9.
Many members have asked for a root-cause analysis of the outages. Below is a letter from Darryl Schriver, General Manager & CEO, explaining the outages and what Tri-County Electric Co-op is doing to address the issue and increase system reliability. The letter was revised on August 13.
