TVA Outage Affects Pickett County
About 5,000 Volunteer Energy Cooperative (VEC) customers lost power Sunday evening due to equipment failure at TVA's Livingston Substation.
The substation feeds VEC's Byrdstown Substation.
The outage occurred at about 5 p.m. Central Time. TVA responded to the outage along with assistance from VEC's crews in the area. Power was restored to VEC's customers at about 8:15 p.m. Central Time.
VEC President/CEO Rody Blevins said he apologizes for any inconveniences the outage caused and said VEC will continue to work with TVA as needed to help resolve service problems in the area.
