Final transmission outage for Five Points and Washington substations scheduled for the morning of Wednesday, November 18

Now that Dominion Power has completed heavy construction on the transmission infrastructure serving Tideland EMC, another planned outage will be conducted impacting all members served by the co-op's Five Points and Washington substations. During this outage, Tideland will remove it's mobile substation from service and connect to the new Dominion infrastructure. 

Due to the nature of the operation which includes the presence of heavy equipment it is not possible for electric utility crews to safely work with energized equipment.  These infrastructure upgrades are expected to meet both utilities' needs for the next 30 to 40 years. We appreciate the significant investment Dominion has made to ensure continued transmission reliability in Tideland territory.
