Effective Thursday, March 26, 2020, Baldwin EMC’s call center will abbreviate its hours and operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, until further notice. A shift from the traditional operating hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., this measure will allow the cooperative’s Member Service Representatives to work from home as an extra safety precaution for both employees and Baldwin EMC members.
The drive-through windows at all three Baldwin EMC offices will remain open as usual, from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Baldwin EMC crews remain on standby around the clock to respond to emergencies and outages. Members can report an outage using any of the traditional means: by calling Baldwin EMC at 251.989-6247, texting (text BALDWIN to 85700 to enroll, then OUTAGE to 85700 to report an outage), or by going online via the interactive map (www.baldwinemc.com/outage-center/).
“Just like the rest of the community, we are receiving updates from the CDC and keeping contact on a continuous basis with federal, state and local agencies,” says Baldwin EMC CEO Karen Moore. “Our goal is to continue to best serve our members, while protecting the health of our employees, members and the general public in the safest way possible. We want to thank our members and ask for their patience as they adapt to the changes we’re implementing during this time. We’re all in this together.”
