Freezing rain causes power outages for Warren RECC customers

On Wednesday evening, a strong system of freezing rain caused outages affecting Warren RECC members across the eight-county service area.

At the peak of the event, approximately 7,000 members were without power. Ice and winds from the storm led to numerous downed lines and several broken poles. Crews worked through the night and will continue to work Thursday until all outages have been restored. In addition, crews from BGMU and South Kentucky RECC in Somerset have been dispatched to help aid in restoration.

 As of 8 am Thursday morning, Warren RECC had 173 outages with approximately 3,500 members without power. Crews continue to work to restore power.
