Claiborne Electric Cooperative has begun construction of a major reliability improvement project to re-clear the existing rights-of-way and rebuild the existing primary lines and poles in Farmerville’s James Avenue area.
This dedicated effort will reduce outages and enhance the reliability of electric service for members throughout the James Addition.
Construction began on Monday, July 14, 2025, and is expected to be completed by Friday, August 29, 2025. Work will take place weekdays (Monday – Thursday) from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM along James Avenue including the adjacent side streets.
During the construction period, members may experience temporary planned outages. Advance notices will be provided three days before each outage. Traffic around the work zone may involve lane closures and daytime noise from heavy equipment should be expected. We recommend that members charge essential devices before scheduled outages, follow posted detour signs, reduce speed in work zones, and contact our member services team with any outage-related questions.
We appreciate your patience and support as Claiborne works to ensure the most reliable electric service possible.
