GUC's Priority Customer Program identifies customers who use life support equipment at their residences. This is not a guarantee that Priority Customers will never lose power, these customers are simply provided special consideration in the event of power outages or during routine maintenance of electric service lines. For more information or to be considered a priority customer, please contact us at 252-551-3364.
Priority Customers are encouraged to develop contingency plans for dealing with such an outage. These plans should include such considerations as the purchase and/or use of emergency generators, battery backup systems, portable oxygen tanks, etc. Plans should also include evacuation or relocation to other facilities in which, personal and medical needs can be met should conditions warrant.
Those with special needs may register for shelters and other resources through Pitt County Emergency Management at 252-902-3950.
