. Restoration will depend in part on how many cities and counties are significantly impacted. Sam Houston Electric Cooperative’s service territory covers 10 counties and includes more than 6,000 miles of line and 200,000 poles. Resetting poles is the most time-consuming part of the restoration process. The amount of time to restore power depends on the amount of damage inflicted by the storm. Rest assured that no matter how severe the damage, Sam Houston Electric Cooperative will not stop until the last service is restored. You have our word on it.
