We are pleased to share that all repairs from Friday's storms have been successfully completed. A heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible URECC crews, as well as our dedicated partners from Shelton, Rusk County, and Cherokee County Electric Co-ops. This shows how we are a true Cooperation Among Cooperatives, coming together in times of need to support one another. Your tireless work, unwavering determination, and genuine care for our community have made all the difference. We see you, and we are truly grateful for everything you do.
Below, you’ll find a video showing aerial footage of the transmission damages and the challenging conditions our teams worked through to restore power safely.
🚨 URGENT: URECC MEMBERS – SCAM ALERT 🚨
***SCAM ALERT – URECC MEMBERS***
We have been notified by members about a scam involving individuals posing as URECC representatives. The scammers claim a payment of $1,500 is required—often involving a Walmart gift card—and may send a barcode via text message, instructing the recipient to scan it to complete the transaction. The fraudulent calls are coming from 1-888-693-8863 EXT 1001, and victims are threatened with meter removal if they do not comply.
Please remember: URECC will NEVER demand immediate payment or threaten disconnection without proper notice.�Stay alert, and help protect others by sharing this warning—especially with senior citizens who may be more vulnerable to such scams.
If you are unsure about a communication or need to verify someone claiming to be from URECC, please contact us directly at 903-843-2536 or 800-259-2536.
