Construction continues at the Spencer Industrial Park

Work continues on the Lorain-Medina Rural Electric headquarters project in Spencer.

The metal roofing is being installed, and the asphalt paving layer has been poured at the north lot. In the coming weeks, the window frame installation will begin for the community room.

We cannot wait for you to see the continued progress over the next several months.

Another successful year for Member Appreciation Day at Cedar Point

We hope everyone had a blast at this year’s Member Appreciation Day event at Cedar Point! Despite the threat of rain, over 2,000 members and their families celebrated with us and enjoyed a day of family fun at the lake.

Talking with all of our members throughout the event, whether about electric vehicles, energy efficiency, or simply what being a co-op member means to them, is a big part of why we host this event. We hope you all enjoyed your time as much as we did!

May outage report

LMRE experienced 32 outages in May, the majority of which were caused by damaged equipment, trees, and birds/animals.

The longest outage occurred during numerous other outages due to a tree branch sitting on the line and locking out the equipment. When this happens, crews have to remove the culprit, in this case, the tree branch, and then restore power.

When there are multiple outages or if the outage is not obvious, our crews may have to patrol the line to find any damage to co-op equipment. During these cases, you may see a potential problem before our crews. If this happens, please report what you see to the co-oop whenever possible because it can sometimes help pinpoint the exact cause or location of an outage and allow the crews to restore power that much faster.
