Wildfire risk mitigation
“Colorado lineworkers are the backbone of the power grid. Not only do they keep the lights on and respond to outages around the clock, but they also play a key role in keeping our members and communities safe through grid resiliency, wildfire risk mitigation, and more,” said CORE Electric Cooperative Interim CEO, Pam Feuerstein.
Colorado Lineworker Appreciation Day serves as an annual tribute to the invaluable service of their state’s electrical lineworkers. These professionals are the backbone of their power infrastructure and ensure that electricity flows seamlessly to their homes, schools, hospitals and businesses.
