To manage or receive notifications from Lake Country Power, you will first need a SmartHub account. It's free and you can do so much!
There are two easy ways to access SmartHub: by desktop computer or by a mobile device application. Members can choose to manage notifications in several ways including receiving email, an opt-in to text (SMS) messages via a mobile device, to receive both email and SMS messages, or to be removed from certain announcements entirely.
Notice: In the event of a rare weekend or holiday load control event, these specific management program messages may not be sent out. Please refer to the Great River Energy website for load management information.
