In December 2025, hurricane-force winds caused the largest, longest power outage in modern Co-op history, impacting every corner of the Co-op's 3,000+ square mile service area. Here you'll find information about the December 2025 Outage.

Resource Center

Over the December 15–24 event window, the Co-op responded to nearly 375 separate outages. Some outages affected a single meter, while others impacted tens of thousands. In total, more than 51,000 outage interruptions were recorded, with approximately 36,000 individual meters—about half the 76,000-meter system—losing power at least once. Many members experienced multiple outages as winds repeatedly damaged already-stressed infrastructure and trees continued to fall.
