Beauregard Electric Cooperative, Inc. (BECi) has announced a temporary suspension of all service disconnects due to current and forecasted freezing temperatures across the area.

According to BECi, all disconnects will be halted through Monday, February 2, as winter weather conditions continue to pose safety concerns for members.

While the cooperative encourages customers to remain current on their accounts when possible, officials emphasized that member safety remains the top priority during periods of extreme cold.

BECi will resume normal disconnect procedures after February 2, weather permitting. Members are encouraged to monitor official BECi communications for updates and to take necessary precautions to stay safe during the winter weather event.
