Want up-to-date information about outages?

At STEMC, we continuously invest in industry best maintenance practices and system improvements in an attempt to minimize loss of power to our members. Yet outages still occur from time-to-time. In an effort to provide more efficient ways to communicate, STEMC now offers an Outage Texting Notification System. Members can now report and monitor power outages via text message. Through this system STEMC will notify members, who opt-in via text, when outages occur in their area as well as when power is restored. 

How do I sign up? It's easy!

Text "STEMC" to 85700.
