SLECA is preparing to respond to widespread power outages in the wake of Hurricane Ida and anticipates its entire system will incur severe damage. Further, member-consumers are advised that it could take weeks to restore power. “This is predicted to be one of the worst storms our area has seen in decades,” said SLECA General Manager Joe Ticheli. “Once the winds subside, we will begin accessing the damages and moving mutual-aid crews into our area to begin repairing the damage.” SLECA employees have spent days making final preparations, and plan to take safe shelter to ride out the storm. Mutual-aid crews from Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri as well as outside contractors are on stand-by and will head to Louisiana to help electric cooperatives in Ida’s path as soon as it is safe to do so.
