HOPE — Duke Energy is making upgrades and improvements on the main transmission power line that serves customers in the Hope area and will have two planned outages for the work.
The town of Hope is served by a single feed out of the substation with the same name on East County Road 600N in Bartholomew County. When complete, this improvement work will reduce the future risk of longer unplanned outages.
In order for crews to work safely and complete the upgrade, Duke must de-energize the power line. This will result in two separate seven-hour outages affecting Duke Energy customers in and around Hope.
The first outage is planned from 11 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11, until 6 a.m. on Wednesday, June 12. The second outage is planned from 11 p.m. on Tuesday, July 2, until 6 a.m. on Wednesday, July 3.
Duke Energy customers in the Hope area will receive an automated reminder phone call a few days prior to the outages.
Customers who have questions about this outage can call 800-820-9362 and leave a message, or email [email protected].
