Our dedicated SWEPCO teams have been working hard to assist with power restoration efforts in Florida. We're appreciative of the base camps set up by Tampa Electric, and here’s a glimpse of the army of resources gathered along with SWEPCO to offer assistance ⚡ Our linemen, Dillon, from Texarkana, and Robert from Mt. Pleasant, TX are seen in their work buckets making crucial repairs to get the lights back on for those affected. In some areas, our teams are dealing with significant damage, especially where a tornado, that spun off from the hurricane, caused extensive destruction to power lines. We’re proud of the hard work and dedication our crews are putting in to help restore power safely and swiftly. A big thank you to all the families supporting these efforts from home! #MutualAid #SWEPCO #PoweringThrough #HurricaneMilton

👷♂️ Take a behind-the-scenes look at one of Tampa Electric’s base camps, where SWEPCO crews and utility professionals from across the country are preparing to restore power in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. With the support of Tampa Electric’s strategically placed base camps, they're able to recharge and gather supplies before heading back out to restore power. The road to recovery is long, but we're proud to stand with our partners as they bring hope and help to the communities in need. ⚡#SWEPCOCares #MutualAid #RestoringPower #StrongerTogether #HurricaneMilton

🙏 We continue to send our appreciation to the dedicated SWEPCO crews and countless utility workers on the front lines in Florida, helping restore power after Hurricane Milton. With 7 base camps set up by Tampa Electric, these teams are working tirelessly—resting, resupplying, and getting back out there to assist in the recovery. While the work isn't over yet, we're proud to support our neighbors during this critical time. 💡 #MutualAid #RestoringPower #SWEPCOCares #Teamwork
