Recognizing the Essential Lineworkers for National Tradesman Day

Whenever we can, Energy Central likes to find a reason to pause and give thanks to the men and women who work to keep the physical grid operating 24/7 all year round, the utility industry's lineworkers. As such, seeing that September 16, 2022, is known as National Tradesmen Day, we thought this was a great excuse to re-link to some of the great spotlight features on lineworkers that's come into the community during the past year.

Please check out the videos, interviews, and resources highlighted below and tell these essential workers how much you appreciate them in the comments!
