Operation Round Up

Operation Round UpSince Ouachita Electric Cooperative was formed in 1938, we have been dedicated to helping the people in Bradley, Calhoun, Dallas, Nevada and Ouachita Counties live better lives, not only with affordable electric power, but through our involvement in a number of important community endeavors.

Now with Operation Round Up, an innovative community service fund raising program, we can share a simple and rewarding way for Ouachita Electric members to help support worthwhile projects in our service areas.

Operation Round Up is just what the name implies. Each month, Ouachita Electric simply “rounds up” the electric bill of participating members to the next highest dollar. For example, a member’s monthly bill of $52.73 would be automatically rounded up to $53.00, with the additional 27 cents going to the Operation Round Up fund. This program will never cost the contributor more than 99 cents a month. Donations are tax deductible and members will be sent a summary of their yearly contributions in December and January.

Community spirit. Service. Good will. Operation Round Up is an exciting extension of Ouachita Electric's commitment to our members. Members can sign-up with our online form below or contact any Ouachita Electric Cooperative office for this program.

**Attention members**

Ouachita Electric will be scheduling two outages in October to facilitate upgrades to the transmission lines. These outages will impact members served by the Holly Springs substation. Each outage is anticipated to last four to six hours and will be scheduled for late Friday nights through early Saturday mornings. The specific dates are contingent on weather conditions and may be adjusted accordingly. The scheduling aims to minimize disruption for affected members.

We encourage our members to prepare for these planned outages in advance. Suggested preparations include: 

**Why are we doing this?** 

Our contracted transmission line crew has been diligently working for months to replace outdated transmission line poles with new ones. This project aims to prevent more extensive outages and protect Ouachita Electric's infrastructure. To continue this important work safely and effectively, brief outages will be necessary to allow the crew to complete their tasks. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
