Being Prepared
Should severe weather arrive, MLEC will be on alert to minimize and repair any damage to the power system as quickly and safely as possible.
Avoiding Scams
Headlines about scams of all types are all too familiar these days. Our goal is to arm you with information to be protected and to follow in-house safety protocol to keep your information safe.
Trees & Electricity
MLEC has a proactive program to keep trees and brush from the lines. Trees and electricity don't mix - when they do, power reliability and personal safety are at risk.
Planned Outages
Keeping your lights on for daily living is MLEC's core business. We conduct high volume work jobs throughout the year, which can result in planned outages.
Generator Safety 101
A portable generator can supply electricity to you if an emergency exists during an outage. Before plugging in, MLEC wants you to build safety into your outage survival plan.
Move Over Law TN
MLEC line crews frequently work busy roadways, often only feet from passing cars. Move over if possible to give them a little extra space to work. It's the law.
Power Line Safety
What to do when automobile accidents involve power lines. Damaged power lines may still be electrified even if you can’t see visible signs. Always assume that power lines are energized.
Safety Tip of the Month: Teach kids to look up for power lines when climbing trees or flying kites.
