Our crew of 70 line-workers and support staff finished their work in Ohio and have now moved on to Asheville, North Carolina, to continue our support for Duke Energy Corporation customers. The damage in Asheville is extensive - parts of the region's electric grid are beyond repair and will have to be completely rebuilt. This continues to be a challenging assignment for our crews, but we will always have the back of our energy neighbors. Please keep all of the crews and families affected by this tragedy in your thoughts as we work to help build back their community.
