Outage update: Approximately 900 customers are currently without power in Jackson & Madison County.

Restoration of services in the Westover Road/Old Denmark Road/Highway 223 Smith Lane areas are requiring major construction repair as these areas were the most heavily damaged due to an F1 Tornado.

The Tennessee Valley Authority is sending equipment to help with the metal poles that were damaged at Jackson State Community College.

Full restoration to all customers should be Sunday.

We appreciate your patience as our crews, contractors, and mutual aid partners work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
