Okefenokee Rural Electric

You’d think with all the hurricanes and price gauging that they would invest in better lines but nope. The power with this company is ridiculous. Out during a storm, expected. Out with a gust of wind even. It could be a bright breeze less day and the power will flicker. Maybe a drunk hit a pole. Maybe a squirrel just got fried. It happens way too often to be excused and I am beyond over this horrible company.

30+ hours and no power. I get it, there was a storm, but almost all of the County has had their power restored, but we not only have no power, there's not one truck to be found in the area. This is all too common with this terrible power company. Clear and sunny days, we lose power and wait hours for it to be restored. If there was another option, we would jump on it, but unfortunately, we're stuck with this terrible excuse for a power company. Will they reimburse me for my lost food or give me a refund for this terrible service...NO. If I did my job this poorly, I wouldn't be employed and yet, they will charge me immediately if my payment is a minute late, regardless of the cause, even if it's due to their inability to process the payment in a timely manner. I'm only giving them one start because that's the lowest there is to make a post. They deserve to be in the negative!!!!!

Power goes out every other day for hours at a time. If you work from home , stay away from this company. I’m about to lose my job over how often I lose power. I’m sure my job doesn’t believe that anyone can lose their power that often but with okeefenokee, you will!

Our power went out at 11:45 PM tonight. OREMC was at our gate within 10 minutes of our phone call. The lineman, Will, had the power back on in 5 minutes! Absolutely unbelievably great service! We are so grateful.
