12 Mar
A series of extreme wind events hit parts of CORE’s service area beginning Thursday, March 12, causing significant, extended outages. This webpage will be updated with the most timely, thorough information regarding CORE’s ongoing response.
5 p.m. Thursday, March 12
Approximately 4,000 members are without power in Clear Creek, Jefferson and Park counties due to extremely high winds.
Line crews and contractors are actively responding to damage at numerous locations. However, strong and persistent winds continue to bring down trees and power lines, and make restoration efforts difficult. Crews will work through the night, but a High Wind Warning remains in effect through Friday afternoon for the affected areas.
Because this is an active and evolving weather event, estimated restoration times are difficult to determine at this time. Affected members should plan for outages to continue through Thursday night and into Friday.
Alternate relay settings (ARS) remain engaged throughout our system. Visit www.CORE.coop/ars for more information about ARS.
For safety, please stay away from downed power lines and report them immediately. If you have an emergency or are in immediate danger, call 911.
We appreciate members’ patience as crews work safely to restore service. We will share more information Friday morning as we receive updates.
