With the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) disrupting much of our daily lives, Gibson Electric Membership Corporation and Gibson Connect want to assure our consumer-members that we are here for you.  We are committed to providing safe and reliable service throughout the duration of this public health crisis and we will work with those of you who are facing disconnection on a case-by-case basis.

Gibson EMC and Gibson Connect will continue to respond to outages and answer your telephone calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Members can pay their Gibson EMC bills through the website at gibsonemc.com, the free Gibson EMC app, the automated telephone payment system and kiosks.  Gibson Connect customers can pay their bills through the website at gibsonconnect.com, the free SmartHub app and the automated telephone payment system.

It is unfortunate that some will use events like this to take advantage of others. Gibson EMC reminds members to be aware of scams targeting utility consumers. Gibson EMC and Gibson Connect personnel will never…

• Ask for sensitive data like banking information via email or phone.

This is a fluid situation, and we recognize that many businesses, individuals and families may be impacted by these unprecedented events.  As this situation evolves, Gibson EMC and Gibson Connect are committed to being responsive to the needs of our members, employees and communities.
