Established in 1945, CHEC is a member-owned not-for-profit electric cooperative. Today our electricity is generated by Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc., and is transmitted through KAMO Power's transmission lines to 15 substations and almost 18,000 meters.
As we move into the final month of 2021, we are still living through unique and extraordinary times. However, it is exciting times as well. Our new fiber initiative has the potential to have as much impact now as the introduction of electricity did for cooperative members back in 1948.
Right-of-way clearing project starting with the new year
Crews in the Cookson Hills Electric service territory will begin working on clearing a new area of the right-of-way in January. This clearing of trees, limbs, and brush is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of outages and reduce the risk of someone coming in contact with the power lines.
Upcoming events in our towns and communities.
