Have you checked your air filter lately? A clean air filter helps your system run more efficiently and keeps cool air flowing. Check your filter monthly during the summer and replace it when it’s dirty.

🚧 Outage Notification! 🚧
MEC is experiencing another outage affecting approximately 200 Members along Courthouse Rd and Rehoboth Rd due to a vehicle accident. There is another broken pole; however, we are able to make temporary repairs now to reenergize the line and replace the pole at a later date. At this time, we do not anticipate an extended outage for this area, but we do appreciate your patience as crews work to make these temporary repairs and get power restored.

📚MEC was excited to host another set of Accelerated Readers this past Friday! 📚 The students at Clarksville Elementary School joined us for a fun afternoon of celebratory hot dogs, chips, and ice cream. 🌭🍦 The students also got to learn about MEC, what our lineworkers do each day and how to stay safe around electricity. Before returning back to school, each student received a goodie bag to show our appreciation for their hard work this school year.

Outage Update (4:00 pm): Crews have begun the replacement of the pole following Miss Utility clearance. We expect replacement and restoration to take approximately 2.5 hours.

Outage Update (2:55 p.m.): Restoration in Merifield Acres is taking longer than expected because the Miss Utility ticket has not yet cleared for the new pole installation. Our crew is onsite and ready to proceed as soon as we receive clearance to dig. We understand the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Once the ticket is cleared, we will work as quickly as possible to replace the pole and restore power.

Outage Update: 11:05 am, Crews are onsite and have found a broken pole caused by the fallen tree. Miss Utility has been called so that we can replace the pole and get power restored. We do; however, expect this to be an extended outage now lasting approximately 3 hours. Again, our apologies for the inconvenience as crews work as quickly as possible to restore power.

Crews have been dispatched to an outage affecting 500 Members in the Merifield Acres community in Clarksville—due to a fallen tree on the line. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Rest assured, your MEC team will get you powered back up as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience!

May is National Barbecue Month! Firing up the grill isn’t just great for flavor—it can also help you save energy. Cooking outdoors keeps extra heat out of the kitchen, so your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool. Enjoy the barbecue and the energy savings!
