Linemen from across Georgia gathered Thursday at the Capitol in Atlanta to be recognized prior to today’s first-ever Georgia Lineman Appreciation Day. Georgia Power employs more than 1,100 line personnel — the company’s first responders when severe weather impacts service to customers — across the state.
Linemen are to receive recognition today with the first Georgia Lineman Appreciation Day. Georgia Power on Thursday joined with The National Association of Journeymen Linemen, other electric utilities, elected officials and customers to say “thank you” to the state’s linemen at the Capitol in Atlanta prior to today’s observance of Georgia Lineman Appreciation Day. “On behalf of Georgia Power, I am extremely proud to recognize the dedicated employees of Georgia Power and the work they do 24 hours a day to ensure the safety, availability and reliability of power to our customers throughout the state,” said Leslie Sibert, vice president of distribution for Georgia Power.
