BARC Urges Members to Prepare for Winter Weather

BARC Electric Cooperative continues to monitor a winter storm that is forecasted to begin late Wednesday evening. BARC is encouraging members to be prepared in case service is interrupted, including how to report a power outage.

BARC’s control center and member services representatives will continue to be available 24/7, and members are encouraged to report any power outages by calling 800-846-2272 or online at barcelectric.com. For your safety, please do not use social media to report power outages or share personal information like an address.

In the event of a power outage, crews will respond as quickly and safely as possible to restore service. We encourage everyone to stay off the roads until the storm has fully passed to allow emergency responders and line crews to safely do their jobs. Please keep in mind unsafe road conditions may increase BARC’s response time to outages.

BARC encourages all members to keep the following supplies on hand in preparation for outages at home:
