Restoration Update!

Electric service has been restored to all affected customers!

Our Fiberspring team continues working on restoration efforts. The damage that occurred required rehanging fiber and now splicing that new fiber which is a tedious task that requires quite some time to complete. We anticipate fiber to come back on throughout the night as our team progresses with their restoration efforts with all customers being restored by the morning.

We appreciate your patience as our teams continue to work to get all services restored!

⚡ Celebrating Public Power Week! ⚡

The first week of October is Public Power Week, a time to celebrate the importance of community-owned utilities and the people who work every day to serve their neighbors.

Public power means being locally owned, locally operated, and focused on the needs of the community we serve. It means investing in our community, providing dependable service, and being there for our customers when they need us most.

Most importantly, Public Power Week gives us an opportunity to recognize and thank our incredible team. From our line crews and field staff to our customer service, operations, and administrative teams, each person plays an important role in keeping our community powered and providing our customers with the service they deserve.

Thank you to our team for your dedication, hard work, and commitment to our customers. We are proud to serve our community together! ❤️⚡

Happy Public Power Week!

Today completed our 4th year of the Summer intern program with South Hadley High School!

We were lucky to have Dawson join us this Summer to shadow a variety of Departments to truly understand the in and outs of how a municipal electric company operates - he was a pleasure to have around the office for the last few months.

We wish Dawson well as he enters Senior year tomorrow!
