A house RESOLUTION

To recognize and commend the employees of 
Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative for their unwavering dedication and 
outstanding restoration efforts following the devastating impact of Hurricane 
Helene in September 2024.

Whereas, when Hurricane 
Helene tore through South Carolina at the end of September, it caused historic 
and catastrophic damage to Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative's infrastructure, 
breaking nearly five hundred poles throughout the service territory and 
disrupting critical transmission, electrical, and fiber systems, resulting in 
widespread outages that affected most of the cooperative's members; and

Whereas, from the moment the 
storm cleared, Mid-Carolina Electric's line workers, fiber system crews, and 
supporting staff, along with crews from across the nation, worked tirelessly to 
restore power and rebuild essential infrastructure, ensuring that every home 
and business regained service as quickly as possible; and

Whereas, the restoration effort 
was a true testament to community spirit, with neighbors supporting one another and many community members expressing 
gratitude to the cooperative's employees through words of encouragement, meals, 
and acts of kindness, which uplifted the teams working in challenging 
conditions; and

Whereas, the dedication and 
teamwork demonstrated by Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative employees reflect 
the core values of service, commitment, and resilience, proving that no 
challenge is too great when a community comes together; and

Whereas, the efforts of the 
cooperative's employees embody the spirit of South Carolina by exemplifying 
extraordinary public service, inspiring those around them, and ensuring that 
members of the cooperative were not only reconnected to power but also to hope 
and unity; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is deeply grateful to the Mid-Carolina 
Electric Cooperative employees for their outstanding restoration efforts 
following Hurricane Helene and commend their dedication to serving the 
community in times of need. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize 
and commend the employees of Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative for their 
unwavering dedication and outstanding restoration efforts following the 
devastating impact of Hurricane Helene in September 2024.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to the employees of Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative as a token 
of the South Carolina House of Representatives' recognition and appreciation.
