Our Newest Stories
Our first issue of Currents for 2024 focuses on trees - how trees may cause outages, our tree trimming program and policies, and how you can help prevent tree-caused outages. In our main article, President & CEO Chris Reese provides a comprehensive look at how tree trimming improves service for us all.
Also in this issue, we provide an explainer on how the electric grid delivers safe, reliable, and affordable power to you. We explain how postal delays may be affecting members' bills and how they can take steps to ensure they receive their electric bills on time. Also, we put out the call looking for new volunteers to join our Member Advisory Committee to help provide valuable input to Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative, from the member's perspective!
