SWEPCO was glad to be among the sponsors of the Bossier Chamber of Commerce public policy series featuring Louisiana @govjefflandry. A great day to join with our community and hear first-hand Gov. Landry's vision for advancing Louisiana. The business luncheon brought together more than 350 Northwest Louisiana neighbors and business leaders including approximately 50 federal, state, and local elected officials from across Northwest Louisiana. #powerforward #NWLA #SWEPCO

🔨🎨 Our dedicated teams from across the SWEPCO & Public Service Company of Oklahoma footprint came together to make a difference! This year, an annual service project took us to the charming town of Avinger, Texas. Over 20 employees rolled up their sleeves to transform the local community park maintained by the 1936 Study Club. From constructing a new pavilion to repainting playground equipment and expanding a pollinator garden, our team worked tirelessly to make a difference. 🌳🌼 We’re proud to not only power communities but also to enrich them. Here’s to another successful project and many more to come! #SWEPCO #CommunityService #AvingerParkTransformation Learn More: http://ms.spr.ly/6045lq9Zf

Rush week, powered by SWEPCO! As thousands of students head back to campus, SWEPCO Lineworkers and Louie the Lightning Bug made a special visit to the University of Arkansas campus! We take pride in putting our customers first and being easy to do business with, so when we heard a planned outage to perform maintenance and improve reliability was interrupting a memorable time for sororities and fraternities, we worked together to find a solution. The planned maintenance outage will occur Wednesday, August 14 between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Thanks for your patience as we continue to improve your service on and around campus.

The act of flipping a light switch is simple. The process to deliver energy is anything but… With approximately 15,000 data points continuously updating for process monitoring and power generation, our power plant operators like Jonathan and Matthew, shown in the control room at Turk Power Plant, are ensuring 24/7 power generation and availability. #powertogether #SWEPCO (left to right) Rusty Howeth, energy production supervisor; Jonathan Formby, Control Center Operator; Matthew Elder, Control Center Operator; Ronnie Hubbard, Sr. Pumper; and Doug Cole, Energy Production Superintendent.
