***POWER OUTAGE PLANNED FOR PORTIONS OF SMITH AND JACKSON COUNTY*** The Tennessee Valley Authority will disconnect power to UCEMC’S North Carthage Substation and South Carthage Substation beginning at 11:00 PM CDT Saturday, May 19th, 2012, for up to six hours into Sunday morning, May 20th, 2012. The power interruptions are needed to upgrade equipment on TVA’s Transmission line supplying power to these substations. These upgrades will greatly improve reliability to UCEMC customers served from these substations. The UPPER CUMBERLAND ELECTRIC MEMBERSHIP CORPORATION (often shortened to UCEMC) is an electric power distribution cooperative. UCEMC is owned and operated by its members and distributes electric power through more than 4,500 miles of lines to more than 47,000 members located primarily in Jackson, Overton, Putnam and Smith Counties and northern DeKalb County. However, several members are served in the fringe counties of Clay, Fentress, Macon, Pickett, White and Wilson. A board of nine directors elected by members from the membership directs UCEMC. A general manager, employed and directed by the board, manages operations of the cooperative with a staff of 141 employees. UCEMC had assets of $166.8 million at the end of FY 2011. Operating revenue from the sale of 1,031,482,599 kilowatt hours and other revenue totaled $111 million from which it paid TVA $79.7 million for the power sold and $23.7 million for operating expenses and debt expense. The remaining margin of $7.6 million is being used to help finance new construction. Bustling residential, commercial and industrial communities flourish in the Upper Cumberland Region of Tennessee due in large part to abundant and economical electric power distributed by the Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation. |
