ANNOUNCEMENTS

Fannin County Electric Cooperative (FCEC) has contracted with Southern Electric Corporation of Mississippi (SEC) for line improvement and voltage conversion for the three-phase distribution feeder north of Leonard. This electric line runs from FM 816 west along CR 4850, CR 4830 and CR 4825, north along FM 1553, west along CR 4725, north along CR 4720, west along CR 4730, south along FM 896, west along CR 4670 , Hwy 69 and CR 4960 to CR 4965. The voltage conversion requires replacement of some transformers at individual electric services which will require a short disruption of power for these members. This includes some members on distribution lines (taps) supplied by this three-phase feeder. This is a system improvement project to increase capacity and improve reliability for this area.

If weather permits, the SEC vegetation crews will begin clearing for the line construction on December 10, 2018 and line construction will begin January 7, 2019. We ask that you allow SEC personnel access to all Fannin County Electric Cooperative facilities that are located on or adjacent to your property.  We apologize for any inconvenience this important process may cause.  You may acquire additional information about SEC by visiting their website at https://secofms.com.

If you have any additional questions please contact FCEC at 903-583-2117.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.
