"BEMC’s reliability is 99.99%, much higher than other utilities, and our linemen take a great deal of pride in helping us achieve that number on a consistent basis. Contributing factors include the craftsmanship of their work, system knowledge, continual training, and strict adherence to safety protocols. But there is another factor that we believe makes all the difference.
Our linemen possess an inherent desire to help, to do what needs to be done, no matter how challenging the circumstances. The sense of urgency each lineman feels when the call comes in that the power is out, is real. They want to be a part of the solution, and get to wherever the problem is, assess it, and restore service as quickly and safely as possible. Wanting to help others in time of need is how they’re geared; it's how they’re built. Yes, to be a lineman you need mental and physical strength, but to be the best, you must also have heart. You deserve the best in the industry, and here they are, at your service.”
Your safety is our priority
For the safety of you and your family, and for the safety of our linemen, we need everyone’s help. Here are a few tips to keep in mind.
