The City of Bowling Green was honored for its achievements throughout the past year during the 2024 American Municipal Power (AMP) Annual Conference held recently in Columbus.
The Bowling Green Electric Division was commended for its participation in AMP’s mutual aid program in recognition of the mutual aid assistance it provided during the recent hurricanes that hit southern states.
Mutual aid is a valued aspect of AMP membership, as it ensures that assistance is available when it is needed most.
BG electric workers Tim Brubaker, Trevor Tyson and Zach Stewart went to Tallahassee, Florida, and to Lauren, South Carolina, to repair power lines damaged by Helene. Mike Kinder and Trevor Tyson went to Lakeland, Florida, to help after Milton.
“Mutual aid is one of the most important aspects of our industry, and I am sincerely grateful to all the members that took part in our response efforts this past year,” said Michelle Palmer, AMP vice president of technical services and compliance.
