POWER OUTAGE NOTICE:

Town of Welsh Residents,

We would like to inform you about an upcoming electrical outage that will affect the entire Town of Welsh. This planned outage is scheduled for November 21, 2025, and November 22, 2025. Each outage will last for 8 hours, taking place from 9 PM to 5 AM.

The purpose of these outages is to facilitate necessary upgrades to our electrical infrastructure. We have contracted a company to replace our 69KV Air Switches and install new 2.4KV 1200AMP switches. We understand that an outage of this length can be inconvenient, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this important project.

This upgrade to our substation has been long overdue, and we are committed to ensuring a more reliable electrical service for our community. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this outage, please feel free to reach out to us at City Hall at 337-734-2231.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Most of us don't think about how power gets to our homes - we just realize how important it is in our daily lives when it goes out. So where does the Town of Welsh get it's electrical power?

Welsh is one of seventeen cities and towns in Louisiana that maintain it's own independent municipal electrical power system. Sixteen of these cities and towns, including Welsh, are members of the Louisiana Energy and Power Authority (LEPA)

LEPA is a non-profit, joint-action agency created by the State Legislature in 1979 to provide a reliable and economic supply of electrical power and energy to member municipalities. LEPA is authorized in joint ownership of large generating plants with other utilities.

Each member city is represented by an individual who serves on the LEPA Board of Directors. LEPA utilized the most efficient power sources out of a pool of resources to control the power costs of its members, and transports this electricity to participating member cities and towns through its computerized Energy Control Center located just outside Lafayette
