We are actively monitoring Hurricane Milton. Given the amount of tree damage we've already seen from Helene, even a small amount of wind from Hurricane Milton can cause us concern. We ask that you remain vigilant and be prepared, just in case.

ANNUAL MEETING POSTPONED As we continue addressing storm damage and working toward restoring power for all Canoochee EMC members, we have decided to postpone our Annual Meeting. You will be notified of our new Annual Meeting day and time once that information becomes available.

UPDATE - 5pm The injured lineman is being treated for his injury. He did receive burns, but all reports indicate that he will be ok. We can also share that although his company has headquarters in Canada, he is from Tennessee.

This afternoon a contractor working for a Canada based company was injured while assisting Canoochee EMC with storm restoration from Hurricane Helene. We do not know the severity of the injury. Please join us in praying for this lineman and his family.

When Lineman Michael Dixon came in tonight, all he wanted to talk about was this gift a young man gave him. Watch this video and see what it means to our linemen to restore your power.

Thank you for your patience, everyone. We are doing the best we can to get power restored to the most people as quickly as possible. This storm had devastating effects to a lot of the south and eastern side of our state.

We currently have most of our substations back online, but a few still remain without power from the transmission lines. That's why it takes longer to restore power after a major storm. Please know our crews are doing all they can to rebuild our system & bring power back to you.

Please remain vigilant while cleaning up storm debris. If you see a downed power line, always assume it's energized and dangerous. Avoid going near it or anything in contact with the line. Never drive over a downed line or through water that is touching the line.

Our offices will remain closed today, Monday September 30, 2024, so that we can focus on power restoration.

Canoochee Line Crew Leader Eben Roberts is seen here giving a safety briefing to his crew, as well as a Pike Electric crew who arrived this afternoon from North Georgia. The crews were working to repair a line on Lynntown Road near Collins in Tattnall County.

2:00 PM Update: We are looking at a multi-day outage event. More than 80% of our service territory remains without power. We have brought in additional crews to assist with power restoration. Thank you for being patient as our crews work tirelessly to get the power back on safely
