Heads up! In the coming weeks, you’ll start seeing JF Construction contractor crews in our area. They’ll be working on behalf of BMU to replace poles and reconductoring of our 69kV sub-transmission loop on the south side of Sikeston, scheduled completion date is December 2025.

This planned project is part of our ongoing effort to upgrade the aging infrastructure to improve reliability and increase capacity. While we don’t expect this work to affect your service, we do want to let you know that during construction, our 69kV loop won’t have its usual redundancy. This means if an unexpected outage were to occur while this work is going on, we won’t have the ability to reroute power like we normally would. Of course, our crew will work as quickly and safely as possible to minimize any outage time if something like that were to happen.

Thanks for your understanding and patience while we make these important upgrades. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at (573) 471-3328 or [email protected] .
