A hazardous weather outlook has been issued for our service area, with an enhanced risk of severe storms Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. High straight line and gradient winds are the most likely threat, with all modes of severe weather possible.

Due to strong winds in NGEMC's service area, multiple crews are in the field and working to restore members who are without power in widespread outage events. We will work around the clock to restore power. To view our live map, head to ngemc.com/outage.

NGEMC is monitoring the weather. A wind advisory is in place for our area for tonight through Wednesday morning. NGEMC is standing by to respond to outages as they occur. Prepare now for storms and outages. Visit ngemc.com/SevereWeather.

Spring is coming! If you are planning to plant a tree, remember to plant the right tree in the right place. Trees should avoid collisions with power lines and buildings. Visit ngemc.com/VegManagement for a tree planting guide.

Brrr, it's cold outside! Energy use will be high on Thursday and Friday, so we’re asking everyone to voluntarily reduce energy use from 6 am to 10 am on both days. It’ll help ease the strain on the power grid. Thanks for being energy smart!

A winter storm is set to arrive in Northwest Georgia Tuesday night and last into Wednesday morning, bringing with it a potential for snow and ice accumulation in some areas. Temperatures in the area are also expected to dip back below freezing Wednesday night.

An NGEMC member recently received a visit from a tree trimming crew claiming to work with NGEMC. They said they would trim the area around her transformer for a high fee. Legitimate NGEMC crews and contractors will not solicit money from you. ngemc.com/ScamAlert
