Safety

With power poles located in areas where bucket trucks can't reach, UPPCO line electricians still need to master the skill of climbing wooden poles. A new fall restraint system eliminates potentially serious injuries that can occur if a line electrician falls. Copyright © 2010 by Upper Peninsula Power Company.

Osprey Nest

Environmental Stewardship

UPPCO line electricians waited until young osprey had left their nest for the season and then removed the nest from a hard-to-reach pole. This gave the osprey time to grow and become independent, and avoided potential power interruptions in the future. Copyright © 2010 by Upper Peninsula Power Company.
