Gulf Power Crews Heading North To Help After Hurricane Sandy
October 28, 2012
A convoy of Gulf Power Company crews will travel north Sunday to help with storm restoration expected in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The team of 70 storm restoration experts is mobilizing to the Philadelphia area.
A total of 48 line crew personnel and 22 support personnel will assist the electric utility, PECO. Mississippi Power is also sending a storm team to the area.
“Our crews are experts in restoration and are in high demand to help in the wake of these devastating storms,” said Jeff Rogers, Gulf Power spokesperson. “Our employees are battle-tested and ready.”
In late August, a Gulf Power storm team assisted Entergy Mississippi following Hurricane Isaac and in July a storm team worked in the Virginia area following severe thunderstorms.
“It’s a two-day drive to the Philadelphia area for our crews, so they will be in the area ready to respond once the storm hits,” Rogers said. “They will be focused on getting customers’ power back on as quickly and safely as possible.”

I passed by three Gulf Power trucks on the way to work this morning. While the power is still off at my house, I appreciate your crews traveling so far from home to help us out here in Philly. Thank you!
