AEC Crews Head to Georgia

AEC released line crews today at noon, to assist in power restoration efforts in Georgia. Utilities began requesting assistance after winter storms moved through the area on Friday, causing thousands of outages. AEC crews will work in Habersham EMC’s service area in Clarkesville, GA (Northeast GA). The Georgia utility serves about 33,000 members and reports 16,991 outages as of 3:00 pm on Saturday.  AEC crews arrived in GA late this afternoon and are expected to work through early next week to restore all power. Six linemen and three bucket trucks are responding from AEC.
