ComEd honors more than 1,900 company employees
for dedication to keeping the power on and protecting public
safety
In celebration of National Lineman Appreciation Day, ComEd
salutes the men and women who work tirelessly, day-in and day-out,
to provide safe and reliable energy service to customers across the
region. As part of its appreciation efforts, the company is joining
energy companies across the nation to encourage others to
acknowledge these unsung heroes on social media by using the
hashtag #thankalineman.
“Our dedicated field employees work in the most challenging of
circumstance -- severe weather, on high risk projects, all hours of
the day or night -- to insure our customers are safe, warm or cool,
and secure,” said Anne Pramaggiore, President and CEO, ComEd. “From
storm response to modernizing one of the largest grids in the
United States, they are at the heart of all we do. I am deeply
grateful for their service to our customers.”
ComEd has more than 1,900 employees, who are dedicated to
operating and maintaining electric systems that serves nearly 4
million customers in northern Illinois. These workers serve as
first responders in emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
often in challenging conditions, and on weekends and holidays to
keep the power flowing for customers.
“Our field employees are on call 365 days ready and willing to
respond whenever and wherever they’re needed,” said Terence R.
Donnelly, executive vice president and chief operating officer. “We
are thankful for their continued commitment and honored to
recognize their steadfast efforts.”
To honor the nation’s workers, a resolution was introduced in
the U.S. House of Representatives designating July 10, 2016, as
National Lineman Appreciation Day. ComEd joins utility companies
across the nation, including Exelon sister utilities Atlantic City
Electric, BGE, PECO, Delmarva Power and Pepco, in honoring all
utility workers – both on the lines and in the field.
