Georgia Power Recognizes April as “Linemen Appreciation Month”

Georgia Power joined dozens of linemen, as well as representatives from the state’s electric membership corporations (EMCs), municipal electric providers and elected officials for a special event at the Georgia Capitol last week. During the event, attendees marked April as Lineman Appreciation Month in Georgia and recognized the importance of thousands of line workers who work day and night, rain or shine, to keep the lights on.

As a part of the Lineman Appreciation Month celebration, Georgia Power and the state’s other electric utilities are inviting all of Georgia to say “thank you” to linemen for their work. Since April 1, hundreds of Georgians have signed the digital “thank you” card at www.ongeorgia.org/lineman and are sharing their stories on social media using #ThankALineman.
