Shelby Electric Cooperative is alerting members to a planned power outage scheduled for Tuesday morning.

The cooperative says crews will take a line section out of the Taylorville Substation beginning at 8 a.m. on December 9. The outage is expected to last about four hours and will affect 61 members, from line locations T0030-10 through T0064C-02.

JF Electric contracting crews will be on site replacing several utility poles. Shelby Electric says doing the work all at once will help avoid multiple smaller outages that would have been required later.

Members impacted should have already received SmartHub alerts and automated calls on Friday.

For more information, members can contact Shelby Electric at 217-774-3986.
