APS Recognizes Lineworkers Who Power Through Arizona's Toughest Conditions
July 10 marks National Lineworker Appreciation Day
During this summer stretch of extreme heat, Arizona Public Service (APS) recognizes the skilled lineworkers who perform some of the most challenging and essential work in the energy industry. July 10 is National Lineworker Appreciation Day, a time to honor the people who safely build, maintain and restore the electric system that keeps power flowing across Arizona.
APS lineworkers are part of a 24/7 operation and are ready to respond when customers need them most, working in record heat, repairing damage after monsoon storms, traversing rugged terrain and through cold and snowy winter weather in Arizona’s high country. They help strengthen the energy grid before extreme weather arrives and respond quickly and safely to restore power when outages occur.
“Our lineworkers are built for the moment, whether it’s the test every Arizona summer presents or navigating winter storms in the northern region,” said Mackenzie Rodgers, Vice President of Transmission and Distribution Operations. “It is highly technical, physically demanding work that requires teamwork and steady judgment regardless of circumstance. They show up with skill, focus and a safety-first mindset to every job, both for each other and on behalf of every community APS serves.”
APS lineworkers and the teams who support them play a critical role in keeping Arizona safe and connected. Their efforts reflect APS’s commitment to serving customers and communities across the state.
“That work is grounded in a deep sense of responsibility to the people and places we serve,” said Tony Tewelis, Senior Vice President of Energy Delivery and Large Customer Projects. “Arizona is growing quickly and our crews are helping to ensure customers have the safe, reliable power they need today and well into the future.”
