Electrical Safety

Electrical safety is extremely important to us here at Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative. Our employees work with electrical equipment every day, so we are committed to providing the absolute best standards and practices to ensure their safety.

This concern for safety extends to you, our members. It is part of SREC's responsibility to act as a resource of information so our members know the potential dangers an electric current can pose and how they can make their homes, and thus their families, safer.

    Generator Safety

    Electrical Safety and GeneratorsAlways strictly follow manufacturer's guidelines when operating a generator

    When power lines are down and homes are without electricity, residents can restore energy to their homes or other structures by using a generator as an alternative power source. Purchasing a backup generator removes a lot of the inconvenience that comes with outages.

    Outages

    Since its founding in 1937, Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative has pledged to provide its members with the highest quality of electric service at the lowest possible cost. A variety of factors can cause outages which interrupt this flow of power. Whether it's extreme weather, tree damage, vehicle accidents, or even animal contacts, outages can pop up at the most inconvenient of times. But when an outage strikes, know that SREC's crews are working hard to make sure that your power is restored quickly, efficiently, and safely.
