If you depend on life support, please let us know. 

Prairie Land Electric strives to maintain the best possible service with minimum outages. However, outages do occur. We request the name and address of any cooperative member who depends on life support equipment. 


We keep a register of members on life support equipment, and it is important this information be current and accurate. Being a Life Support/Critical Needs Customer does not guarantee uninterrupted electrical service, does not give prior­ity restoration in an outage, and does not prevent collection activity for unpaid electric bills. If electric service is critical for life support, it is your responsibility to arrange for private back-up power systems where appropriate, and develop alternative care plans to ensure safety and security during power interruptions. Contact your physician for other alter­natives. The Life Support / Critical Needs program is intended only for customers who are on a life-support system and unable to readily leave the home. 


If you or a family member depend on life support equipment, please contact our office at 800-577-3323 or 785-877-3323 to request a form to complete. Forms are also available by clicking here.
