On Sunday evening, about 88% of our members now have power. See story for the updated estimated rest...

Clay Electric crews, assisted by a host of mutual aid and contract crews, continue to restore power today to the areas hardest hit by Major Hurricane Helene, which is said to be the strongest hurricane in history to hit the Big Bend region.

About 88% of our members now have power. The following are updated estimates for substantial completion:

• Bradford, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Lake, Putnam and Volusia counties are substantially complete.
• We estimate that 98% of members living in Baker, Levy, Marion and Union counties will have their power restored by 10 p.m. Monday.
• We estimate that 98% of members living in Alachua, Columbia (except Three Rivers Estates), Gilchrist and Suwannee counties will have their power restored by 10 p.m. Tuesday.
• The damage is so extensive in Three Rivers Estates neighborhood of Fort White that an estimate will not be available today.

The Gainesville and Lake City District office lobbies will be closed to the public Monday and Tuesday, but the drive-thrus will be open. All other offices will be open on Monday.
