White Plains Academy has been awarded a grant from the Tennessee Valley Authority, in partnership with Bicentennial Volunteers, Inc., a TVA retiree organization, to develop science, technology, engineering, and math education projects to help spark student interest in future careers in STEM-related fields.

Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation (UCEMC) and The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) have scheduled a planned outage in the Gordonsville area beginning Saturday, April 29, 2023, at 10 p.m. and ending Sunday, April 30, 2023, at 6 a.m. The planned outage is required for TVA to perform repairs and upgrades on equipment.

Livingston Academy junior Dalton Stout and Gordonsville High junior Breanna Boyd were in Nashville March 13-15 for the Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association’s annual Youth Leadership Summit. The juniors were chosen and sponsored by Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation.

The events of Friday and Saturday, Dec. 23 and 24, were highly unusual.

Winter Storm Elliot brought record-cold temperatures to much of the country in what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration called a “historic arctic outbreak.” Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation and our power supplier, the Tennessee Valley Authority, set new winter records for energy demand. Most unusual, though — for the first time in its 90-year history — TVA issued a call for rolling blackouts.

Our offices will be closed Monday, January 2, in observance of the New Year. 

While bundling up this winter, don’t forget a blanket for your furry friends.

We all have our favorite season. Some people love crisp, cool weather and bundling up under a favorite blanket, while others prefer the warm temperatures summer brings and all the outdoor activities that go with it. 

The holiday season is finally here. Some call it the most beautiful season of all. That’s because we associate it with family traditions and gathering with friends and loved ones. It’s a time of giving and spreading joy, reminding us of the good things we have right here in our community. It’s essential to spread the blessings as far as possible, especially to the most vulnerable in the Upper Cumberland area.

Fall is a busy time, and October is a particularly eventful month with a full swing of school, community, and sports activities. It’s also when all cooperatives celebrate National Co-op Month.

When we say UCEMC celebrates Co-op Month, we are celebrating you! After all, our co-op wouldn’t exist without you, our members.
