Electric Cooperative: Convoy of Trucks Headed to SC to Help Restore Power

COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)–According to Electric Cooperative officials, nearly 100,000 electric cooperative consumers were without power on Monday.

The Cooperatives do provide electricity in all 46 counties, but according to officials, the highest numbers of people in the dark were between the Savannah River and a line extending from Charleston to Columbia to Spartanburg.

There is help on the way. Electric Cooperative officials say over 100 Arkansas line workers will join at least 200 more from other states who will be traveling to South Carolina. Crews will arrive in the damaged areas on Tuesday.
