On April 18, Duke Energy celebrates National Lineworker Appreciation Day – a day to recognize the service, commitment and sacrifices of lineworkers, team members who are critical to ensuring customers have access to safe and reliable electricity.
12 Duke Energy lineworkers from Indiana took home top awards at the Midwest Lineman’s Rodeo in Plainfield, earning the opportunity to move on to one of the most prominent and celebrated lineworker events in the world.
The organizations receiving funding are meeting expansive community needs, including completing structural repairs, building new homes and rebuilding damaged ones, removing storm debris, providing mental health services, rehabilitating waterways and more.
Duke Energy has restored power for more than 98% of its customers affected by power outages across Indiana as of 9 a.m. ET Friday. Crews will continue with restoration efforts in the areas hardest hit by high winds, tornadoes and significant rainfall from Wednesday’s severe weather.
