When working outside, remember to look up and look out for power lines! Be especially careful working near lines attached to your house and using long metal tools or ladders. Always keep equipment and people at least 10 feet from power lines.

Cool mornings have us reaching for sweaters, but by afternoon the AC is back on.

False Fall can trick you into using more energy than you need.
🌬️ Open windows in the morning to cool your home naturally.
☀️ Close blinds mid-day to block out the heat.
🍁 Switch to ceiling fans to keep air moving without blasting the AC.

Small changes = big savings!

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, and honor the first responders, utility crews and countless heroes who served that day.

Their bravery reminds us of the strength found in serving our communities and standing together during life's most difficult moments.

📣 Ozark Border Electric Cooperative is pleased to announce Troy Amoss as our next General Manager!

Following General Manager David Schremp’s announcement that he will retire in April 2027 after 36 years of service, our Board of Directors began the process of selecting OBEC’s next leader. For Troy, this is a return to Ozark Border! He began his career with OBEC in 2006 as a Journeyman Lineman before becoming Eastern Area Supervisor and later Operations Manager. He most recently served as CEO and General Manager of Chariton Valley Electric Cooperative. Troy’s experience, leadership, and familiarity with OBEC make him a great fit to lead us into our next chapter.

Please join us in welcoming Troy back to Ozark Border! 💚⚡
