Work Locations and Updates

Work Locations and Updates

 

Here is where you can expect to frequently see Medina EC crews and contractors.

  • Linetec is replacing poles in the areas south and north of Hondo, Bigwells, Devine, and the Freer area. This work will continue throughout 2023.
  • Linetec is replacing poles and updating equipment in Rio Medina and Castroville areas to help the cooperative improve reliability and help meet additional power demands from area growth. This work will occur through 2023.
  • Schneider Engineering crews will be checking and staking poles in the Natalia area. They will also be in the Castroville area around FM1957/Potranco and surrounding neighborhoods. This is for the rebuild of power lines in the Natalia area that will happen later this year.
  • Schneider Engineering will be in the Uvalde area inspecting equipment through February 2023 to prepare for a future conversion.
  • M&S Engineering will be in the Hondo area inspecting equipment through the end of the year to prepare for a future conversion.
  • Linetec will be upgrading equipment in the Castroville area from mid-March through July. This is part of an ongoing project for a future voltage conversion. While upgrading equipment, the member may experience a brief outage if the transformer needs to be replaced. The contractor will attempt to notify the member prior to the brief outage if that is the case.
