FREE ACCESS: Duke Energy announces area planned power outage

Monday, May 17, 2021

Duke Energy has informed the city of Linton of a city-wide power outage, scheduled for May 25/26, 2021 at 12 a.m. and lasting until Wednesday morning around 5 a.m.

The purpose of the estimated five-hour outage is to make upgrades to their transmission lines that feed the city. In an effort to take advantage of this already planned outage, the City of Linton will be making upgrades to their Vincennes Street substation during this same time.

Duke Energy wishes to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and to say they appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding.

Duke Energy also wishes to thank the linemen for working in the middle of the night, to minimize interruption for customers during higher-use times.
