CEC to boost Sisters power

A planned brief outage at 5:30 a.m. Thursday, November 17, will allow Central Electric Cooperative (CEC) technicians to adjust their Sisters substation to increase voltage in the Sisters area.

The adjustment will increase capacity by 2.5 percent.

According to CEC spokesman Jim Crowell, the move gives the system “a little better margin just in case we do get an Arctic express and a very cold winter.”
