Member Advisory Committee (MAC) meetings.
For our February MAC meetings, a group of members were given a presentation by the Assistant General Manager & VP of Engineering and Operations, Don Bowman, over the course of two evenings. The presentation focused on the operational aspects crucial to ensuring reliable electricity service for members. The presentation highlighted the cooperative’s rapid growth and the challenges and opportunities it presents in terms of infrastructure expansion and maintenance. Members were informed of the importance of regular system maintenance and walked through Wake Electric’s outage response. The record setting outages in August of 2023 were discussed as well as how outage prediction and crew assignment works. Members were told about distribution automation and it’s impact on enhancing system reliability. Lineman were present at the meeting and Bowman gave a rundown of all the rigorous safety training that lineman go through. Members were given the platform to ask questions directly to the management team on a variety of topics. Each meeting included a catered dinner as well as several drawings for $25 credits on electric bills.
