Cooperation Among Cooperatives – lllinois crews travel to where they’re needed

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, 104 skilled lineworkers from 21 electric cooperatives across Illinois have been on the ground, working tirelessly to restore power and aid recovery efforts. Our crews have assisted Carroll EMC (Carrollton, GA), and are now helping those at Planters EMC (Millen, GA), Satilla REMC (Alma, GA), and Jackson Energy (London, KY), with many now preparing to move on to help in North Carolina.

At Planters EMC, 84 lineworkers from 18 Illinois co-ops - Adams Electric, Clay Electric, Clinton County Electric, Coles-Moultrie Electric, Corn Belt Energy, Eastern Illini Electric, Egyptian Electric, EnerStar Electric, Illinois Electric, JCE Co-op, Menard Electric, Norris Electric, Rural Electric Convenience, Shelby Electric, SouthEastern Illinois Electric, Spoon River Electric, Tri-County Electric and Wayne-White Counties Electric - have been hard at work.

At Satilla REMC, 14 lineworkers from Corn Belt Energy, Southwestern Electric and Western Illinois Electrical Coop. are making a difference.

At Jackson Energy, 6 lineworkers from Illinois Electric and M.J.M. Electric are providing critical support and will soon head to assist Blue Ridge Energy in North Carolina.

We are proud of our dedicated lineworkers who represent the power of cooperation and community. Together, we are co-op strong.
