Manager’s Message – April 2024
PrintLineworker Appreciation
April 18 marks National Lineworker Appreciation Day across the United States.
Northern Lights, Inc. (NLI) honors the dedicated men and women who often work in challenging conditions to keep the lights on. We proudly recognize and want to thank all line foremen, journeymen linemen, apprentice linemen, groundmen, staking technicians, warehousemen, and operations dispatchers for the services they perform around the clock in dangerous conditions. Whenever duty calls, they keep the power flowing and protect public safety.
Our NLI linemen are the first responders on the scene to handle power outages and other electric distribution system issues on high-voltage lines. Conditions can be dangerous, but they are always ready and willing to do their best to ensure reliable electric service is provided for NLI members.
NLI’s linemen maintain more than 2,900 miles of power lines serving more than 23,000 accounts in northern Idaho, western Montana, and a small piece of eastern Washington. Although beautiful, this terrain is rugged and remote. Our crews are standing by to serve NLI’s members around the clock to keep your power on and, if there is an outage, restore it as soon as possible.
Lineworkers have always taken pride in their work and continue to strive to be first-rate in their trade. They remain heroes to the community in times of outages and are dedicated to maintaining the legacy of the pioneering lineworkers before them.
Thank you, NLI journeymen linemen and all other NLI field personnel, for all of your hard work and a job well done! Thank a lineworker today for keeping the lights on.
Sincerely,
Annie Terracciano
General Manager
