Lane Electric Co-op

A 20mph wind can knock out the power for a day. Sad. We’ve had about 4 outages this year that are wind/weather related. Coming from living in rural Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana and working in power plants in those states. This company is so far behind the rest of the country in terms of equipment and speed of service.

Yes, we were without power for the better part of 3 days due to the hazardous wind conditions. My hat's off to Lane Electric for shutting down distribution to avoid setting new fires. Those who have a problem with living in the country, either go off-grid PV or buy a generator.

Terrible company to deal with. I agree totally with the negative comments written by other Lane Electric customers. Their outage response is terrible . I too had my power off for several days and was told by the lineman that all he needed to do was reset the breaker. Next time the power goes out, I’m going to tell their office that I will reset the breaker!! (Maybe that will speed them up).

I recently purchased Deception Creek Mobile home Park in Westfir. After reading the reviews I was apprehensive of Lane Electric. After working with their billing department, doing a small project with their engineering department, and working with them to restore power after the snow storm in 2019 I can say my apprehensions have disappeared. They have always responded to my inquiries in a professional manner. They restored power to our park in less than a week which is absolutely amazing given the circumstances. My advice is to treat them with respect and patience and you will get the same in return.
