    As we celebrated National Lineworker Appreciation Day this month, we took a moment to honor the unwavering dedication of our lineworkers, troubleshooters and underground crew members. To celebrate, we hosted luncheons at our service centers across our territory where our team members gathered to enjoy a well-deserved break. The highlight of these gatherings was a barbeque that brought everyone together in celebration and appreciation. We are immensely grateful to our crews for the long hours and commitment to keeping the lights on in our Pittsburgh community.

    Did you know that responsibly managing vegetation along power lines is crucial for ensuring safe and reliable electric service? In 2023 alone, we inspected and maintained 1,300 miles of distribution lines and more than 200 miles of transmission lines using best-in-class industry practices.  Alongside partners such as Tree Pittsburgh and the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania, we’re responsibly managing biodiversity in the communities we serve.  Curious to learn more?
