Roughly 1,100 Owen Electric Customers in Boone County, as well as many others in neighboring counties, are without power, according to an announcement from Owen Electric Cooperative.
A social media announcement from the company stated the outages were due to a transmission problem with Owen Electric’s supplier, Eastern Kentucky Power Collective. Five substations, as well as the company’s head office in Owen County, are affected. Crews are responding, the company said, but they did not give an ETA on when power would be restored.
