Be prepared for scam calls!



As deplorable as it is, scam calls always increase at certain times of the year like holidays and especially during tax season. These callers pretend to be anyone from law enforcement to family members and even your power company! Please keep in mind that while we do call our members from time to time, no one from Northeast Louisiana Power Cooperative will ever ask for payment information over the phone.


If you feel that you have been the recipient of a scam call, you can report this to the FTC using the button below. Report the number that appears on your caller ID — even if you think it might be fake — and any number you’re told to call back. The FTC analyzes complaint data and trends to identify illegal callers based on calling patterns. They also use additional information you report, like any names or numbers you’re told to call back, to track down scammers.

Northeast Louisiana Power Cooperative encourages all motorists to refrain from texting while driving. This practice is especially dangerous to our line crews working along busy roadways. Please don't text and drive!

WE ARE ACTIVELY CLEARING RIGHT-OF-WAY ACROSS OUR SYSTEM






NELPCO is clearing right-of-way to improve reliability and prepare our poles to receive fiber-optic cable for high-speed internet!


Contractors working for NELPCO and VOLT Broadband are helping us inspect, replace, or modify poles across our system.


Right-of-way crews are also trimming trees and other vegetation growth away from power lines.


Please keep in mind that right-of-way clearance is between 15 and 20 feet from the center of our line.


We will always be respectful of personal property while we are working on our equipment and within our right-of-way clearance.


You can expect to see our right-of-way crews and contractors in trucks, on off-road vehicles, and on foot.
