REC Warns Supply Chain Issues Could Affect Service

Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) says supply chain issues are a real problem which go beyond mere inconvenience. As the situation continues to evolve, soaring prices, scarcity of supplies and significant delays in delivery and availability of key materials, COULD impact their ability to complete essential work in a timely fashion.

In an effort to be as transparent as possible about the impact supply chain issues are having on REC, they've set up a Supply Chain Transparency website to share news with the community.
