First, let me say that I awoke earlier this morning to no power.... however, in less than 30 minutes, the power has been restored. We live "way out in the country", and power outages over the past 30+ years.. are something that cannot be avoided. We have had lightning storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, and even an ice storm. Each time SVEC has been contacted...they have responded in a professional, timely fashion. We've seen work crews come out in stormy weather, cut trees off lines, and check our power lines.....all to maintain, or restore power! We remain grateful for SVEC, and the work crews that work tirelessly, so that we can enjoy power in our house. Thank you so much & Stay safe!

I established my new customer account several months prior to the arrival of our new home . Two appointments with the stake engineer, 5 months ago, to insure all trees were removed for our new power installation, and I now am being told, after our final inspection, we have to cut more trees! Firstly, why do customers have to cut 15 ft into others properties, from the street and the nearest transformer ? Who would think of such a thing? We were never told this , it's incomprehensible , in our case, we have to cut 15 ft of trees , from the closest transformer which is approximately 100 ft from the corner of our property line. It seems like SVEC is using its new customers to install power poles on county roads , which is cutting their cost . HINT: SVEC stake engineers need to explain , IN DETAIL, the work that needs to be completed , for new power installation. Each employee has their on narrative of the parameters required to meet installation criteria . Each time we requested actual trees and areas be marked, it was not done, only pointing and talking, if you expect particulars, then specifics should be provided, then there is no " gray area", disputing the conversations which took place . Schematics are not always easily interpreted by customers, therefore, not always the best option . Bottom line, we can not complete that which was not told to us . To expect us to complete the required work, 5 months after we inquired , and we have passed final inspection, is unfair. We are now paying a mortgage on a home we're unable to reside in.

Suwannee Valley Electric | Oct 28, 2021

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the outage. You were part of a larger outage caused by a tree that fell on a large 3-phase line. It's a little weird, but trees can fall around here, even in nice weather.

WE ARE MOVING HOW DO I HAVE OUR NAME TAKEN OFF THE ACCT. WITH YOU

What's the cost and requirements of powerpole and meter installed on my property

Lindsay Scott | Oct 28, 2020
Suwannee Valley Electric | Oct 28, 2020

If you already have an account with SVEC, the co-op will extend its line up to 1,200 feet at no cost to the residential consumer. The consumer will contribute 100% of the costs associated with extending a primary line over 1,200 feet. The actual cost would be determined from a visit to the site by an SVEC staking engineer. If you do not already have an account, a deposit and other fees may be required.

How does this average program or is it called prepaid program you see I’m on disability and I will probably be a minimal user

Catherine Smith | Oct 29, 2019
Ashley Johnson | Oct 29, 2019

They have prepaid and budget. Prepaid is a pay as you go. Put 100.00 (or however much) and it deducts daily usage until it runs low and you make another payment. Budget is an estimate of your last 12 months avg.

Will you be open on December 24 2018

Martha Spiwak | Oct 29, 2019
Ashley Johnson | Oct 29, 2019

No ma'am. Closed 24th and 25th. Back open 26th at 8 a.m.

When is power going to be restored on 154th Place, White Springs?

Sherry Blankenship | Oct 29, 2017
Aaron Goldy | Oct 29, 2017

Never!!! Mrahahahahaha.... Ive been without it for a week

Have anyone had power restored?? We had a couple of trucks in our area working all day yesterday and left around 11pm with power only on one side of the street..

krystal Daniels | Oct 29, 2017
Aaron Goldy | Oct 29, 2017

There litteraly power in all the neighborhoods around mine but not in mine and the one thats on the road curved to ours... Then i came to walmart where i work up here and seen a bunch like 14 trucks at the hotels sleeping

Found 14 or so trucks sleeping at the inns.... Working day and night so hard on their beauty sleep even tho ive been outta power for 6 days...

Aaron Goldy | Oct 29, 2017
Lora T | Oct 29, 2017

And how many if those 6 days did YOU work, Mr. Smartass? Let me add out in the Wind, Rain, and Away from your wife & family to HELP others get power while most likely your Own family at home has to borrow a generator because they too are out of power? HUH? THINK first before you shoot off your mouth because a lot of these Extra Linemen are from South GA where they lost power when we did. So they're having to wait longer because their guys are HERE helping US rather than helping their own!

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS TOWN IS SO SLOW AT PUTTING ELECTRIC ON THEY ALL SOULD KNOW WHAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH GET A BETTER SYSTEM TO WORK ON AND A REAL ELECTRIC CREW WITH EXTRA HELP THEN YOU DO NOW.. SLOW AS A TURTLE SYSTEM

Arlene Sassy | Oct 29, 2017
Aaron Goldy | Oct 29, 2017

Its been 6 days... I found them guys... Over 13 trucks all asleep at eocnolodge.... Holoday inn... And quality in.... Theres a bunch of them enjoying a nice ac nap and tv and relaxing

I wish SVEC would let us know who's power has been restored and where they are headed next. i know they are working hard. I'd just like to know how long until they get to us so I could plan accordingly.

Vickie Pagliai | Oct 29, 2017
Gretchen Hull | Oct 29, 2017

Do you notice how the "interactive outage map" never uploads? There are only 3 services on my pole. I'll be dead last. Too bad for me I'm the only full time resident. Everyone else has somewhere else to go. They left.

Robert Randolph | Oct 29, 2017
Aaron Goldy | Oct 29, 2017

Idk if it was SVE but i seen like 3 or 4 drive by my work leaving town out at walmart... Ive been without power for 5 days and so have like 4 big neighbourhoods that i pass every day and one my friend lives in across by publix and he said they have no power and alot of the resturants including his on that side of town... It has been 5 days they said they had like 13 crews and where bringing like 26 from out of town or state to help... Did they mean sending them out of our town and leaving us without power to help other towns or what... I would like warm food, cold drinks, entertainment, cooler air, warmer showers, to wash my cloths, to be able to have street lights on, to have any lights on, to be able to charge my phone, be able to cook, clean, and be able to stand laying in my own bed again... We depend alot on power now that Society has been built around it from home, work, money, food, cloths, travel, and entertainment... 5 days with nothing... Im in LiveOak florida

Has anyone heard when they are actually going to start working on anything???

Brian Mccray | Oct 29, 2017
Patton Harmon | Oct 29, 2017

Pretty sure they are. 6/8 transmission lines and 41/43 feeder lines were out I think. Patience is a virtue.
