Workers from as far away as Alabama are headed to Western Kentucky to help with service restoration.
Early Wednesday morning, Central Alabama Electric Cooperative (CAEC) dispatched nine line workers in three bucket trucks and three pickup trucks to help restore power associated with the destructive ice storm that moved through the Midwest.
CAEC’s crew was en route to Owensboro and will be assisting in restoration efforts at Kenergy, a 51,000-member electric cooperative that serves more than 6,700 miles of line in all or portions of 14 western Kentucky counties.
CAEC is part of the nationwide network of nearly 1,000 electric cooperatives that help in recovery efforts as part of emergency assistance procedures.
