We have had reports today from consumers who received calls from people pretending to be Rayle EMC employees. These people are offering to give the consumer a refund for an overpayment and will ask for your checking account or credit card number. Please do not fall for this trick.
It is important that customers call their utilities directly to check on the status of their accounts if they are ever unsure about the authenticity of a caller or the identity of a service worker, or if they suspect any fraudulent activity.

Throughout the holiday weekend we had outages from storms in the area that affected hundreds of our consumers. Also, late Sunday night into early Monday morning, thousands of our consumers experienced flickering lights. The problem was at the transmission level and it affected at least seven of our substations in Wilkes, Lincoln and Taliaferro counties. The City of Washington, Georgia Power and Hart EMC were also affected. We have been in contact with our transmission system operators and they are currently performing a full investigation to find the root cause. As always, we truly appreciate our consumers for being patient and understanding when things are not ideal.

This week, Rayle EMC’s apprentice linemen Luke Lamb, Ryan Shuman, and Charles Esparza, alongside apprentice linemen from Hart EMC and Jefferson Energy, completed their first of four training labs. This lab focuses largely on safety and good work practices, equipment inspection, climbing confidence, and positioning to work while on their hooks. They were able to get in lots of practice and gain confidence in their trade, as well as fellowship with one another and gain insight from more experienced linemen. A job well-done by this group of guys!
