GOOD NEWS- After December 18th, 2012 all transmission lines affected by the high loads have been raised. This means there will be no more outages at the major substations due to these loads. Our next priority will be to continue to work on raising the smaller lines that feed multiple members on down to the lines affecting only one or two members. We have been notified that these moves will continue through next summer. Once we complete the improvements, we should incur no outages because of the high loads.
- For more on high load outages please read the article published in Rural Montana Magazine and written by our general manager, Mark Grotbo- MRE advocates for members in high-load moves. (January 2013 issue, page 3). Rural Montana Magazine's December 2012 issue also has an informative article regarding high loads and how they have affected not only our cooperative but others along the route from Billings, MT.
