Cullman Power Board

Montgomery — Electric Cities of Alabama (ECA) commends Cullman Power Board, Dothan Utilities, Riviera Utilities, and Sheffield Utilities for their preparation for Hurricane Michael.

As Hurricane Michael made landfall Wednesday along the Florida Panhandle, a large portion of the Wiregrass area in Southeast Alabama was in the path of a major hurricane. Crews from Sheffield Utilities are staged in order to offer assistance immediately following the hurricane. 

In addition, Cullman Power Board and Riviera Utilities have offered assistance and are on standby should additional resources be needed. Needless to say, the Dothan Utilities is preparing for Hurricane Michael and will work tirelessly to restore power outages, should they occur, as quickly as possible.

ECA coordinates power restoration assistance to electric city members across the State of Alabama and neighboring states following natural disasters, such as Hurricane Michael. 

“I am so thankful for the hardworking men and women that work for municipally owned electric companies throughout our state,” said Jon Hand, executive director of ECA. “When disaster hits, it’s reassuring to know there are utilities such as Cullman Power Board, Riviera Utilities, and Sheffield Utilities ready and willing to lend a helping hand.”

Utilities and contract crews from across the country are joining in a coordinated effort to restore power to areas impacted by Hurricane Michael.

Dothan Utilities, Cullman Power Board, Riviera Utilities, and Sheffield Utilities are members of ECA, a coalition of Alabama’s municipally owned electric utilities that span the state from the Tennessee Valley regions in the north, to the Gulf and Wiregrass regions of the south.
