⚡ Our Line Technicians in Action! ⚡ Roanoke Cooperative’s dedicated line technicians are hard at work in the Blue Ridge Energy service area, battling tough terrain and long hours to restore power. Despite 16-hour days and challenges like muddy conditions requiring bulldozers to assist, their spirits remain high, thanks to the overwhelming support from our member-owners, families, Blue Ridge Energy and their members. Jamie Elliott, Line Technician Supervisor, shared, “Blue Ridge has been really good to us! It makes you want to work even harder to get the lights back on for their members.” John Turner, Fleet Operations Coordinator, added, “Even after losing so much, their members have been incredibly appreciative of our efforts.” We couldn’t be prouder of our team! Check out the full story and see the photos of our crew in action in our latest blog post. https://ow.ly/ynCH50TCBXa #RoanokeCooperative #LineTechnicians #RestoringPower #BlueRidgeEnergy #Teamwork #Proud

💚 More Than Just a Power Company – We’re Family 💚 We stood in the rain, watching as the trucks rolled out of the gate. As they pulled away into the distance and the gate slowly closed behind them, a wave of prayers followed--prayers for their safety, for their families waiting anxiously at home, and for their safe return. We prayed that their mission would be successful and that they'd come back to us quickly. At Roanoke Cooperative, being part of a co-op means we look out for one another, just like family. Today, eight of our dedicated line crew team members are heading out to lend a helping hand to Blue Ridge Energy, where over 60,000 members are without power. But this isn’t just about restoring electricity. It’s about showing compassion, standing together in difficult times, and embodying the cooperative spirit that’s woven into everything we do. When one of us needs help, we all step up—because that’s what family does. To our crew, we are so incredibly proud of you. As you carry the heart of Roanoke Cooperative with you, we wish you safe travels, knowing you will bring comfort and light to those in need. And to all the linemen and workers out there, thank you for your tireless efforts. Jamie E., Brice, Benton, Gary, Griffin, Josh, Chad and John (not pictured), you remind us every day of the true power of the Cooperative. #CooperativeSpirit #FamilyFirst #MutualAid #PoweringCommunities #TogetherWeShine
