Happy Father's Day!

The National Weather Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning in our service area for extreme fire danger until 11:00 pm tonight, June 16. During these warnings, CPC changes how their reclosers operate to reduce fire danger. Unfortunately this can result in additional outages. We also patrol all power lines to the very end before we energize which makes outages last longer. We appreciate your patience as our linemen work long hours to get the power restored safely.
