RICHMOND, Va. — Some Virginia-based companies are pitching in to help those impacted by Hurricane Milton. About 400 Dominion Energy employees are now in Florida awaiting the storm’s pass.
This is part of a mutual response effort to help Florida-based electric companies with anticipated significant power outages.
100 Dominion Energy line workers, 240 contract line workers, and 60 tree contractors made their way to Florida Wednesday morning.
“Us and our utility partners we are all in this together,” Dominion Energy spokesperson Craig Carter said. “In situations where we can help people who are in need at the moment, we always want to do that and do that as soon as we can.”
WTVRDominion Energy does not operate in Florida, however, they are providing mutual aid to electric companies based in the Sunshine State.
Dominion still has another 300 line workers deployed in South Carolina helping those impacted by Hurricane Helene.
Carter said they are thankful for workers and crews who are making quick progress.
