Since the onset of intense storm activity and damaging winds yesterday, service has been restored to more than 17,000 Great Lakes Energy members. Approximately 4,100 members are still without power. All available GLE line crews have been dispatched and are working to restore service to the remaining affected members.
Outages are reported across 12 counties throughout the Great Lakes Energy service territory. Areas most impacted by outages are Lake and Osceola counties. Current outage information by county is updated on the Great Lakes Energy website, www.gtlakes.com, by visiting Storm Central.
Members using generators should ensure they are connected properly and legally with a transfer switch so they do not backfeed into the powerlines and cause harm to workers. Great Lakes Energy members are reminded to stay away from downed power lines and trees and limbs hanging on the lines. For the safety of our members and our staff, please do not approach or engage with line crews working to restore power.
Great Lakes Energy members can report their power outage through their online account, on the Great Lakes Energy app, or by calling 888-485-2537.
Praying for all who are working on lines trying to restore power. We are In Osceola County. In Rose Lake Forest.
