KEC plans power outage for July 25
Kootenai Electric Cooperative has scheduled a power outage for about 5,000 KEC members in Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Hayden and Rathdrum on Sunday from 1-4:30 a.m.
The outage is required so KEC can test substation equipment to comply with federal government reliability standards, according to a press release. The work is being done overnight to minimize the impact to affected members and businesses.
Members who require a constant supply of electricity, for critical care issues or other situations, are urged to make necessary plans for backup generation or other needs prior to the planned outage.
