Let’s Roll! Over 100 lineworkers and heavy equipment are on their way to Florida this morning to help Duke Energy restore power after Hurricane #Milton caused widespread damage. A pair of TVA helicopters and crew are already in Florida assisting in damage assessments. 🤝🇺🇸

We’re on our way, Florida! ❤️ More than 90 field personnel from across our service territory got on the road before dawn to help Tampa Electric restore power following #HurricaneMilton. Crews, safe travels and remember your loved ones are counting on you to come home safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with those in the storm’s devastating path.

We're readying for Hurricane #Milton even as we continue rebuilding in the Carolinas after #Helene. Milton’s intensity is expected to be unlike anything the Tampa Bay area has ever experienced before, and we're getting an army of resources in place. We're convening 16,000 power line technicians, vegetation workers, damage assessors and support personnel, along with necessary equipment, at The Villages, Suwannee Valley Farmers Market and Ritchie Bros. Auction. These locations are out of the hurricane's projected path, but as close as possible to the areas most likely to be impacted. Crews are coming from as far as Colorado, California and Canada, and will be prepared to start safe power restoration as soon as weather and other conditions allow.

Last week, students from Dakota County Technical College had the exciting opportunity to tour Jordan Transformer, gaining valuable insights into the world of manufacturing. It was an inspiring experience for these future professionals to see firsthand how innovation and craftsmanship come together in this industry. A big thank you to Adam Pink, Alex Haight, and John P. as well as the entire Jordan Transformer LLC team, for opening their doors and investing in the next generation of talent. #luminoustalent #everyoneshines #manufacturing #dctc

Huge thanks to all the lineworkers who are pitching in during a time of need. #CooperativesHelpingCooperatives #HurricaneHelene https://lnkd.in/gNTRDNNF

Historic is a word that is reserved for those events people will talk about for decades to come. This past week Hurricane Helene struck our entire Duke Energy service territory with historic impact. Never have we had a storm hit all 6 of our states, never have we had over 3M customer outages, never have we seen the damage in Upstate SC to this extent, never have we experienced storm surge at the levels we saw on the west coast of Florida, never have we seen lake levels rise this high, and never have we seen such devasting floods in my home town of Asheville, NC and across the mountains of NC. My heart goes out to all the citizens and communities across the southeast, some of whom lost everything. Events like this test us all, but also brings us all together to help each other. So many stories of ordinary people doing heroic things to help friends, family members and strangers. This spirit of helping each other and rebuilding together is what makes our country great. I am so proud of the 27,000 teammates at Duke Energy and over 15,000 utility partners from across the US and Canada, who have stepped up to execute a historic response. So far, we have restored power to over 2.3M customers and our plans are to have the majority of all customers impacted that can receive power back by Friday. This won't be an easy task, as the areas we are working in have significant damage and in some cases will require a rebuild of our infrastructure. In upstate SC alone we estimate replacing 6000 poles. In the mountains of western NC, flooding has made access difficult and also wiped-out parts of our infrastructure. Our team understands the role power plays in helping our communities begin the long road to recovery and will not stop until everyone has been restored. I thank our customers for their patience, and I thank our State and Federal partners for all the support and assistance. We are in this together and together we will complete a historic recovery from this historic event.
