Tampa Electric is sending qualified line crews and restoration personnel northward to assist with electrical recovery efforts following severe winter weather that has impacted communities outside of Florida.
As part of a broader mutual assistance response, the utility is deploying trained workers to help restore power and support infrastructure recovery in areas affected by winter storm conditions. This deployment aligns with longstanding industry practices in which utilities share resources and expertise across regions to respond to significant weather-related outages and ensure electric service is restored as safely and quickly as possible.
Mutual assistance efforts such as this are coordinated across multiple utilities, enabling companies to augment local restoration crews with additional personnel and equipment. These cooperative responses are especially valuable during large-scale events, where demand for experienced lineworkers and specialized crews exceeds the capacity of any single utility.
Sending crews to support storm recovery in other states reflects Tampa Electric’s commitment to reliability and industry collaboration. By contributing personnel to broader restoration operations, the company helps ensure that impacted customers can regain power and essential services sooner, while reinforcing a shared utility commitment to supporting communities in times of widespread weather emergencies.
