Coahoma Electric Power Association

Lyon, Mississippi

A full-service campus supporting CEPA’s efforts across rural North Mississippi

Project Overview

To better serve its seven-county rural coverage area, Coahoma Electric Power Association (CEPA) relocated all business and field operations to a new, 34,850 SF purpose-built campus in Lyon, Mississippi. JESCO delivered the project through a full design-build approach, managing scope, design coordination, and construction across three buildings and substantial sitework.

The campus includes a 16,000 SF conventional steel office building for engineering, operations, and public interaction, including a Command Center for outage response. A 14,000 SF pre-engineered metal warehouse provides secure space for vehicles, boats, tools, and materials. A separate 4,850 SF pre-engineered maintenance shop is equipped with a truck exhaust system and wash bay for fleet servicing.

Extensive concrete paving and staging areas complete the site, enabling CEPA to deploy resources quickly and effectively in response to community needs.

Impact

Challenges and Solutions

Supporting active electrical operations and logistics demanded high attention to functionality and durability. JESCO worked closely with CEPA to design efficient workflows within and between buildings while managing weather-sensitive sitework and specialty MEP requirements.

The new CEPA campus centralizes operations, enhances public accessibility, and strengthens the association’s capacity to maintain reliable electrical service across rural Mississippi for years to come.
