65 Gulf Power Workers Depart Century To Restore Power In Tuscaloosa
June 12, 2012
A Gulf Power Company storm restoration team of 65 employees departed Century Tuesday morning headed to Tuscaloosa to help restore electric service following a powerful storm system that swept across most of Alabama last night.
At the height of Monday’s storm, 129,000 Alabama Power customers were without power. The majority—79,000—were in the Birmingham area.
Gulf Power employees from across Northwest Florida comprise the 65 members of the work group, which includes 49 linemen and 16 support personnel that will assist Gulf Power.
“We’re glad to be able to help our fellow Southern Company utility after this storm,” said Jeff Rogers with Gulf Power. “Our crews had just spent the past weekend battling outages here in our service area so we know how important it is to work safely to get power restored as quickly as possible.”
