Pennyrile Electric restores power to all members

Pennyrile Electric has wrapped its work restoring power to members who lost service during Saturday’s severe storm.

More than 14,000 members were without electricity immediately after the storm that packed winds of up to 75 mph.

That number was gradually reduced with the assistance of other cooperatives and contracted crews and the final outages were fixed Tuesday night.

Cleanup continues in the affected areas, with Pembroke officials saying there will be rolling roadblocks there throughout Wednesday to allow crews to safely pickup debris.
