On the second Monday of every April, we join electric cooperatives around the country in taking time to thank and honor the lineworkers who go above and beyond to keep the lights on in our communities.
Celebrated on April 8 of this year, National Lineworker Appreciation Day is a special time for us to #ThankALineworker and recognize the hard work they do to ensure reliable electric service for our members. They focus on keeping the lights on so you can focus on what matters most to your family, with full faith that you’ll have the power you need to live your lives.
The simple fact of the matter is that our cooperative couldn’t power your homes and businesses without their hard work day in and day out. And when storms roll in, they roll out to make sure all of our members have power. In times like these, they prove that no matter how tough the weather, our crews are tougher. We encourage you to join us in posting to social media using #ThankALineworker to share your appreciation for those who work to power our lives.
What It Means to Be a Piedmont Electric Lineworker
Part of what makes our lineworkers special is their passion for this job. We asked one of our lineworkers, Jacob Denny, to share why this job is important to him:
My job is important to me because first, it allows me to be a provider for my family. Second, I get to experience a brotherhood like no other, and lastly, I get to give back to a community and the people that have helped me become the man I am today. – Jacob Denny | Roxboro Crew | A Class Lineman
