The first rotation of NOEC Operations employees continues its mission of restoring power for Mississippi residents impacted by Winter Storm Fern. While outage numbers have dropped significantly, thousands of customers in some of the hardest-hit areas of the state remain without electricity. Officials say that the restoration effort could take up to ten more days. Keep these rural Mississippi residents in your prayers, as well as our linemen and right-of-way crews, who are braving treacherous conditions while working double shifts to return electric service in these communities.
"We are making progress, but it's slow going," reports NOEC Journeyman Lineman Matt Montgomery. "It seems like for every broken pole there are 5-6 spans of primary down."

Is this why our bills went up?
We know many of our members may notice higher electric bills following the recent cold snaps, and we understand how stressful that can be. With temperatures dropping and heating systems working harder to keep homes warm, energy use increases during extreme winter weather.
Please know you’re not alone. At NOEC, caring for our members means working every day to provide reliable and affordable power while also being here to help when questions arise. If you’d like to review your bill or talk through winter energy-saving options that could help reduce usage, our team is just a call away. We encourage you to reach out. We’re here to support you and your family.

Wait... our USAGE went DOWN but our BILL went UP over $500 dollars per month. Literally looked at usage for the exact same billing month last year and we had less usage but our bill last year was in the $200s and this year, over $800!!! Make it make sense! When you call and ask about the difference, the rudest man on the planet speaks to you like you're less than nothing, scolds you for questioning them and says they're going to charge you another $200+ to have someone check. So do you really want to check? If we say its right, then we are charging you an additional charge... Well. That feels dirty doesn't it? Like there was no dinner, or a kiss.....
Mine went from 250 to 691
My bill was only $265 very reasonable and a whole lot better than claremore electric thank you for being affordable
Yeah everyone gets robbed during the winter by the electric companies.
We put out an article talking about how the temperature difference between the thermostat temp and the outside ambient temp during these cold snaps is greater than the temp difference during summer spells. If we keep out house at 72 and it's 112 outside, that's only a 40 degree temp diff. If we keep our house at 68 in the winter and it's 5 degrees outside, that's a 63 temp difference. It really helped people correlate that to higher usage. I think we put it out during Uri.
Mine almost doubled last month. I'm afraid of what this bill will be. 😱
Utility’s have been hit hard by inflation like everyone. Interest rates went up, wholesale power went up and it shows up on the electric bill. Non-profits do not benefit from excess margins because they just give it back in capital credits.
Water is colder and if you have electric water heater they also will run more to heat up water.
Mine doubled! Not looking forward to paying that bill.
It’s all about the money. 💰
Thank you
What’s crazy is my electric bill is super high for December some reason, but yet my central unit barely even ran because I have a well insulated house.
Northeast Oklahoma Electric Cooperative Question? Are you referencing the possibility of a higher bill due to increased usage OR has there been a rate change recently? Or a little of both??
Ours was less usage, quite a bit, yet higher.
That’s crazy we are thru REC as well ours hasn’t changed during the cold snap
Yes , it doubled in one month
