Duke Energy has planned repairs and a subsequent planned power outage for this Saturday, December 7th, beginning at 9:00 PM and ending Sunday, December 8th at 6:00 AM. This outage will be necessary for Duke Energy to replace a pole on their transmission line feeding Haywood EMC’s Quebec and Rosman Substations in Transylvania County.

This outage will affect Haywood EMC member-owners in and around the following communities: Lake Toxaway, Quebec, Balsam Grove, Rosman, Wolf Ridge, Wolf Mountain, Round Mountain Road, Pickens Highway, Old Toxaway Road, US-64 (between Rosman and Whitewater Road), Silversteen Road, Canada Road, Whitewater Road, Cold Mountain, Golden Road, Parkway Road (NC215), Blue Ridge Road, and Macedonia Church Road.

Member-owners in the Sapphire, Bear Lake, Conestee Falls, and East Fork areas may face a brief outage as operation crews work to isolate these areas from the larger outage from Duke Energy.
