For lineworkers, weathering the storm is just another day on the job. National Lineworker Appreciation Day will be observed on Tuesday, April 18. It is an acknowledgment of the challenging work of utility lineworkers nationwide who are committed to building the grid of the future and keeping the lights on.
Florida line teams are crucial to keeping power flowing to our state’s critical infrastructure such as hospitals and water treatment facilities, and to everyday home conveniences – while always keeping safety top of mind.
Ten years after the U.S. Senate passed a resolution in 2013 designating April 18 as National Lineworker Appreciation Day, the role of lineworkers is more important than ever before – in maintaining and growing energy infrastructure, protecting public safety and making sure communities have power.
As severe weather has escalated in frequency and intensity, line technicians serve an increasingly essential role in maintaining reliable service every day, improving resiliency to restore service faster, and enabling cleaner energy options and a lower carbon future for customers.
