⚡ Power outage prep reminder: stash some cash in small bills with your emergency supplies. When the power goes out, ATMs and card readers won't work. Better to have it and not need it!

It’s officially hurricane season! 🌀This year National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts a likely range of 8 to 14 total named storms, of which 3 to 6 could become hurricanes, including 1 to 3 major hurricanes. We know no matter what blows our way, preparing for all emergencies and weather events is a year-round activity for GUC.

Join us behind the scenes with our overhead construction electric crews. This is where precision meets teamwork high above the ground and on the ground. These crews maintain over 1,236 miles of distribution lines and 80 miles of transmission wire.

A day in the life of these crews involves:
🔹 Preparing work sites, which can take hours or days.
🔹 Working from bucket trucks, elevated high above the roadway.
🔹 Insulating lines with lots of bright orange blankets – safety first!
🔹 Installing new poles.
🔹 Replacing old poles.
🔹 Working in tandem to bring wires down for pole replacements.
🔹 Supporting major projects, many of which span for miles.
🔹 Working with contractors on occasion as needed (like traffic control).
🔹 Preventing outages with slow, controlled, and safety-focused teamwork.

Together, these crews keep our community connected with safe and reliable electric services!

⭐ Big thanks to Carter Rochelle, Gas Service Specialist I, for his outstanding service!

Mr. Shugart called out Carter's professionalism in a 5-star Google review after Carter checked his gas line connection and indoor equipment, making sure everything was properly connected following work by a private company. Mr. Shugart described Carter as "professional, very knowledgeable, and thorough."

🚧 TRAFFIC ALERT - The Southbound lanes of Charles Boulevard are closed at Oglesby Drive (across from the ECU Baseball stadium and next to the Belk Building).

Our GUC crews are repairing a broken water line and hope to have the repairs made and the Southbound lanes reopened by 9 p.m.

If you’re trying to drive southbound on Charles St. from 14th Street to Greenville Boulevard, please choose an alternate route. Do not drive around barriers put up near 14th Street.
