FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TVA Planned Outage for Clinton Substation
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will have a scheduled outage on Sunday morning, April 30 that will
affect about 2,500 of Gibson Electric Membership Corporation’s member-owners served out of its
Clinton, Kentucky substation (areas north of Clinton and east of Hickman). The outage is scheduled to
begin at 12:01 AM on Sunday morning and is expected to last until about 5 AM.
During the outage TVA will place a new transformer into service at the Clinton Substation. TVA says this
should be the last planned outage related to the January 2021 substation vandalism.
The work performed during this outage will enhance long-term service reliability.
“Gibson EMC is attempting to telephone and email our members who will be affected,” said Rita
Alexander, VP of Human Resources and Member Services. “The repairs will benefit our members by
enhancing future service reliability and by helping us to avoid a potentially longer, unplanned outage,“
she said. “Even so, we apologize for the inconvenience it will cause and we appreciate our members’
patience and understanding.”
Gibson EMC encourages members who do not receive a text, call, or email but who do experience the
outage to call the cooperative and provide an up-to-date telephone number and email address so we
can communicate successfully regarding any future planned outages. Members also are encouraged to
visit the Gibson EMC Facebook page for more information about this planned outage and other news.
Gibson EMC is a local, not-for-profit, member-owned and member-controlled electric cooperative
serving almost 39,000 homes and businesses in eight west Tennessee counties (Crockett, Dyer, Gibson,
Haywood, Lake, Lauderdale, Obion and Madison) and four west Kentucky counties (Carlisle, Fulton,
Graves, and Hickman).
