**Attention members**

Ouachita Electric will be scheduling two outages in October to facilitate upgrades to the transmission lines. These outages will impact members served by the Holly Springs substation. Each outage is anticipated to last four to six hours and will be scheduled for late Friday nights through early Saturday mornings. The specific dates are contingent on weather conditions and may be adjusted accordingly. The scheduling aims to minimize disruption for affected members.

We encourage our members to prepare for these planned outages in advance. Suggested preparations include: 

**Why are we doing this?** 

Our contracted transmission line crew has been diligently working for months to replace outdated transmission line poles with new ones. This project aims to prevent more extensive outages and protect Ouachita Electric's infrastructure. To continue this important work safely and effectively, brief outages will be necessary to allow the crew to complete their tasks. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

For any questions or concerns, please contact us at 877-252-4538.
