PECO Celebrates Utility Workers On National Lineworker Appreciation Day

Each Exelon utility – Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power, PECO and Pepco salute efforts of company workers

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In celebration of National Lineworker Appreciation Day, PECO salutes the men and women who work tirelessly, day-in and day-out, to provide safe and reliable energy services to customers across the region. PECO celebrates its 1,057 utility workers who operate and maintain natural gas and electric systems and respond to emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, often in challenging conditions, and on weekends and holidays to keep the lights on and the natural gas flowing for customers.

“Our field employees are an enduring example of the fabric of our company, built on a steadfast foundation of safety and service,” said Mike Innocenzo, senior vice president and chief operating officer. “We are deeply impressed and thankful for their tireless service and continued commitment to our customers, no matter what challenges they may face.”

To honor the nation’s lineworkers, a resolution was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives designating July 10, 2016, as National Lineworker Appreciation Day. PECO joins utility companies across the nation, including Exelon sister utilities Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power and Pepco, in honoring all utility workers – both on the lines and in the field.
