Coronavirus

COVID-19 has brought many changes to our communities, affecting the way we live, work and interact. Throughout these changes, one thing has remained constant – our commitment to serve you and your energy needs in a safe manner. We are one of the many essential services responding to the national emergency, and our employees are working for you. Our linemen are ensuring our members, communities and businesses have the power they need. Please avoid approaching our linemen or any cooperative employee if you see them working. If there is a need to speak with them, be aware that they will maintain at least 6 feet of separation.

Workplace practices

Employees will be maintaining a safe distance and using enhanced protective wear. In-person meetings and travel has been cancelled or postponed, if possible.

Monitor your energy use

If you and/or your family are spending more time at home, you may be using the computer, watching TV, cooking and keeping the lights on more than you usually do. This could result in your next electric bill being higher than normal. Make sure to monitor your energy use through SmartHub and click here for information and ways to save energy.

Be on the lookout for scams

Members should be on the lookout for suspicious emails, phone calls or persons impersonating business employees or charitable organizations. Unfortunately, scammers take advantage of opportunities such as this when households are otherwise preoccupied. If you get a call from someone claiming to represent Butler Rural Electric Cooperative and they make threats or demand immediate payment, hang up and call the cooperative or the police department.

Resource and supply chain planning

We are proactively taking steps to help ensure the stability and continuity of our operations, including resource and supply chain planning. Delivering reliable power is our responsibility – and our commitment to you. As this situation develops, we will continue to evaluate and adapt our business continuity plans to meet this commitment.

COVID-19 resources

We’re closely monitoring this extremely fluid situation with guidance from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and from our industry peers and government agencies. Follow all precautions advised by your state health department or local emergency management agency.
