Beauregard Electric Cooperative, Inc. Works to Open
New Ragley Substation
Interruptions to Service Possible
DeRidder, LA -- Beauregard Electric enters its final stage that sets
in motion the transfer of power to the new Ragley Substation. Located
1/4 mile north of the Ragley overpass, the substation was re-located
to accommodate the four-lane construction of US Hwy. 171. Improvements
have been made to the new substation, which will increase capacity load
and reliability to its surrounding customers.
Because of the substation being implemented, BECi customers may experience
interruption to their service. Affected customers are those in Ragley,
Longville and south of DeRidder. The areas are comprised of the following:
- DeRidder, Mennonite Road area south on Hwy. 171
- Longville at Hwy. 171, Hwy. 110 west and Longville Gravel east
- Ragley, Hwy. 190 east to Texas Eastern area and Hwy. 12 south to
S.A. Cooley Road; and Hwy. 171 south to Camp Edgewood Road and east
to the Topsy area
The switching process is scheduled for Thursday, August 1, 2002 and
will continue through Thursday of the next week. It is possible that
customers may experience brief power interruptions throughout this period.
