Getting power to customers and keeping it flowing takes determination, strength and courage.
“Not everybody can say they get to work on high voltage electricity. Not every job gives you the opportunity to make people happy such as [by] restoring their power. Not every job you get to drive snow cats or take helicopters to remote locations. It takes a certain breed to do this job and everybody respects it.”
-- Brad Kegley, student in Electrical Power Distribution
