Joe Wheeler EMC

We have a broken pole with a line down on CR 364 in the Caddo area. Please avoid this area while they make repairs and get the power back on to the 54 members who are affected.

The storms that just moved through have left several outages scattered across our whole service area. At this time we have 417 members without power, mostly in Morgan county around Hartselle and Lacey’s Spring. Crews are working as quick and safely as possible to get the lights back on.
Please stay safe and thank you for your patience.

You can see our live outage map at JWEMC.coop.

🎉 The August issue of Alabama Living is here!

This month's cover is one we're especially proud of.

Inspired by Grant Wood's iconic American Gothic, our cover is a cooperative-themed reimagining featuring recently retired Joe Wheeler EMC employees Steve and Dewanna Jones. Together, they represent more than 60 years of dedicated service to our members and communities, making them the perfect faces for this month's theme:

Built by Neighbors. Powered by Members.

Inside, you'll find our feature story, "More Than Electricity," which explores what makes Joe Wheeler EMC different, how member ownership shapes every decision we make, and why serving our communities has been our mission for nearly 90 years.

📸 The cover photograph and digital illustration blend modern technology with a timeless American masterpiece to celebrate the people who have built this cooperative.

We hope you'll take a few minutes to read this special issue and celebrate the people behind the power.

New equipment. Ongoing training. A continued investment in serving our members. ⚡

We recently added a mini excavator to our fleet, expanding the resources available to our crews in the field. While our crews have extensive experience operating equipment, ongoing training is an important part of the job. This operator and safety training helped build on their existing skills while familiarizing them with the capabilities of our newest addition to the fleet.
