For Those Who Put It All on the Line

April 18 is National Lineman Appreciation Day

Our lineworkers are the backbone of the cooperative. They’re our first responders — and yours — when the unavoidable happens. It’s a dangerous job they do in any weather, any time they’re called. For National Lineman Appreciation Day, we’re sharing just some of the many thank yous our members have sent them. Share your own by filling out the form at the bottom of this page!

Next time you see a lineworker, share your gratitude for the hard work and long hours they put in to keep our power safe and reliable. Their sacrifices make the things we depend on every day possible.

Team PEC loves working for our members. We appreciate you, too!

“To all our PEC lineworkers, thank you for keeping the lights on! We have lived all over the country in our 48 years together, and PEC is the most reliable and responsive energy company, period! Your hard work and dedication are the reasons. We think of you out there in all sorts of awful weather and pray for your safety. In our household, we thank you out loud at those times!”

“It is a dangerous job, and we thank you for going the extra mile to ensure our safety and comfort. You are amazing, caring people with generous hearts. Linemen work in the shadows, allowing us to bask in the light. I thank God for you. Enjoy your Lineman Appreciation Day.”

“Thanks from the bottom of my heart. You keep us comfortable and safe in the worst conditions. And please thank your family too. They must make sacrifices for the hours you work. Please know we appreciate you.”

“Thank you for showing up and being there to do probably one of the most thankless jobs out there. We see y’all, and I always have so much respect for the men and women that we see working on the lines. It’s known it takes brains and guts and a lot of admiration comes your way. Just know you’re loved and appreciated.”

“My thanks go to all linemen who risk their health and lives to ensure the public has access to the resources we depend on for our own safety, convenience, and lives. My father was a telephone lineman in the 1950s and instilled our family’s devotion to those who work high above to make our lives easier. Stay safe and go back to your families as you left them.”
