Avangrid’s Post

Today is National Lineworker Appreciation Day. We celebrate all of our nation's lineworkers and honor the life of Henry Miller, a lineworker and the first president of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), who was tragically killed in the line of duty in 1896. Our lineworkers often work around the clock and in dangerous conditions following storms and other extreme weather events to ensure that the customers and the communities they serve have access to safe and reliable electricity. Today, and every day, #ThankALineworker United Illuminating Central Maine Power Company Rochester Gas & Electric New York State Electric & Gas National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) Edison Electric Institute

✔️New England Wind Construction and Operations Plan - Approved! Today, Avangrid received full federal approval for the construction of our transformational New England Wind #offshore projects.
