Look up in the sky! Those aren't birds or planes, but our newest Substation Construction B Mechanics! They recently completed the second school in their apprenticeship training, bringing them to the halfway point towards becoming certified A mechanics at our substations. Next, they'll receive valuable on-the-job training to hone their new skills before going back to school next year. Let’s give them a round of applause as they continue on their apprenticeship journey! ??

We’re still supporting restoration efforts in Florida after Hurricane Milton, and we’re grateful for the spontaneous moments of kindness and compassion from the community. ?? While crews were working in Winter Haven, a group from the Auburn University chapter of Chi Phi Fraternity donated energy drinks and supplies to our base camp. They held a fundraiser to buy and give out essentials to those affected by the storm and decided to share some items with our team as well. Thank you for an incredibly selfless act!
