Thank you to everyone who helps make the fair a special Darke County tradition. Here's to 90 years of powering community.

⚠️ **Planned Outage Today, October 21**

Crews need to replace a broken pole on New Madison Coletown Road, just south of Stingley. Members in the area will experience a planned outage beginning at approximately 4:30 p.m. and lasting about one hour.

We’re thankful no one was hurt. With harvest in full swing, please take extra care around poles, overhead lines and guy wires when moving equipment. We know our farmers are putting in long hours, and we want everyone to make it home safely.

Thank you for your patience as our crews make these repairs!

Cooler temps are coming, which means your heating system will soon be working harder to keep your home comfortable. Fall is the perfect time to check for drafts around windows and doors before cooler weather arrives. A little weatherstripping and caulk can help keep cold air out while improving efficiency and overall comfort.
