Power Restoration
From the Piney Woods in the east to Lake
Conroe in the west; from the Angelina Forest up north to the
grassy plains down south; and all the gentle rolling hills
in between, the area we call home has a little something for
everyone. Truly our part of Texas is blessed with an abundance
of natural beauty and good folks, which we enjoy year round
in our temperate climate.
However, there are times when Mother Nature
can take a turn for the worse. Thunderstorms, ice storms,
tornadoes, hurricanes, flash floods, tropical storms and other
natural catastrophes can not only knock out electrical service;
they can also put life and property in peril.
No matter how severe the storm, you can rest assured that
Sam Houston Electric Cooperative won't leave you in the dark
during these trying times. Not only are our 150 employees
working hard to ensure your power is restored in a timely
manner, we are committed to providing you up-to-date information
during outage situations.
When your lights go out - so do we. Twenty-four hours a day,
365 days a year, Sam Houston Electric Cooperative is here
to serve you.
