RETIREE SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Heavy snow and high winds from Winter Storm Izzy
prompted Utility services crews to rally to support the
National Grid and Green Mountain Power accounts in the
Northeast in January.
Axel Oschmann, area manager, Eastern Utility services,
Upper Atlantic region, said 17 on-site employees on the
National Grid account were assisted by 50 more Davey
employees who traveled in for the storm recovery, which
was focused mainly in Rhode Island.
"We brought in crews from Virginia, Tennessee,
Pennsylvania and Kentucky," Oschmann said. "It was a
typical snowstorm that turned to slush, and then we had
higher winds breaking limbs and uprooting trees. Our client
has been doing a good job with their program to remove
dead trees from powerline areas to reduce risk
to infrastructure."
Power customers saw less severe interruptions in Vermont,
where 12 on-site employees for the Green Mountain Power
account helped restore power after the storm.
"We saw mostly just smaller branches that had gotten
some snow load and fallen onto the lines," said Alex Mullen,
supervisor, Green Mountain Power account. "Typically
what we'll see up here with heavy snow is whole tree tops
can pop out and pin a line to the ground, but this was just
removing a branch here and there so they could turn the
lights back on."
