Great Lakes Energy Lineworkers Travel to Florida for Hurricane Milton Restoration Efforts

Over the weekend, Florida Electric Cooperative Association reached out to electric cooperative leaders in Michigan and other cooperatives across the country asking for help in anticipation of Hurricane Milton. More than 15 states answered the call, with some coming as far away as Utah and North Dakota. Nearly 30 Michigan co-op lineworkers have packed up their gear and headed south, ready to restore power and hope. The four pictured above are employees of Great Lakes Energy, our local electric co-op serving rural areas of 26 counites in the state.

This is a reminder of how communities, bound by the spirit of cooperation, come together in times of crisis. Lineworkers from across our state and the country are on their way, staying up to two weeks in Florida, to ensure that when the storm clears, the lights come back on—and neighbors won’t be left in the dark.
