National Lineman Appreciation Day is celebrated annually on April 18th and honors the people who keep all of our power up and running. National Lineman Appreciation Day is a time to express our utmost appreciation to the great men and women that work so hard for us every day. This day recognizes the critical role line workers take in providing our members with the power they depend on every day. LREMC joins other electric cooperatives across our state and nation to recognize them.

Lineman performs various duties that keep power lines up and functioning. In addition to serving their communities, lineworkers are also called on to provide aid across the state and nation following major storms and other times of need. This commitment to “cooperation among cooperatives” is one of the core principles that demonstrates the true strength and character of the cooperative network.
