HOME SAFE & SOUND!

Our crew has made it home after traveling to Hartford, Alabama, to assist with Hurricane Isaias recovery efforts. We’re proud of their hard work, dedication, and willingness to step up and help those in need.

Thank you to each crew member for your time, effort, and commitment to serving others when it matters most. We’re glad to have everyone back home safe!

We are so proud of our crew for answering the call. This response is a powerful example of cooperation among cooperatives — working together, sharing resources, and supporting fellow cooperatives to help restore service and make a difference. When one cooperative needs help, others step up to lend a hand - that's the cooperative way!

A big thank you to all of the students who participated in the Marion County, Illinois 4-H wiring class yesterday!

We were impressed by how quickly these young minds caught on! They asked great questions, learned new skills, and showed us that there just might be a few future electricians in the group!

We love opportunities to introduce the next generation to the electrical industry and see their excitement as they learn something new.

Great job, everyone! 👏

🚨 SCAM ALERT – PLEASE BE AWARE! 🚨

We recently received a report from a member who was contacted by someone claiming to represent Tri-County Electric Cooperative. The caller stated that the member had been "approved for a new meter."

This call was not from Tri-County Electric Cooperative.

While we are preparing to upgrade electric meters throughout our service territory, members do not need to apply or be approved for a new meter.

⚠️ Please remember:
Do not provide personal information, account numbers, or payment details to suspicious callers.

Scammers may use our cooperative's name to make their calls sound legitimate.

Never feel pressured to make a payment or provide information over the phone.

📞 If you ever receive a call that seems suspicious, hang up and contact Tri-County Electric Cooperative directly. Our staff will be happy to verify whether the call is legitimate.

Your safety and security are important to us. Please help us spread the word by sharing this information with friends, family, and neighbors.
