Always ready when it matters the most!
Thank you Lineworkers for all that you do for our communities.

n April, we take a moment to pause and honor the individuals who make our lives easier every day — our lineworkers. When storms strike our communities and power outages occur, many experience inconvenience, but our lineworkers see a call to action. Our crews are always prepared when it matters most, leaving family gatherings, working through the night and facing challenging conditions to restore power as safely and quickly as possible. This readiness stems from extensive training, valuable experience and a collective commitment to serving others. What sets lineworkers apart is that they are not just restoring power to a system; they are restoring power to their own communities. They live here, raise their families here and understand that electricity is more than just
a convenience; it is vital to daily life, local businesses, schools, farms and emergency services. Powering the places we call home is a deeply personal mission for our lineworkers. Inland Power was founded on the principle of neighbors helping neighbors, and our lineworkers exemplify that spirit every day. They are the first to respond and the last to leave, often putting in long hours behind the scenes. Sometimes, serving our neighbors means extending beyond our own service territory through a process known as mutual aid. During significant outage events, Inland Power crews stand ready to assist neighboring cooperatives in restoring power. This spirit of mutual aid strengthens all cooperatives and benefits the members we serve.
We recognize that any time the lights go out can be frustrating, disrupting daily life. We are immensely grateful to our members for their patience and support during these times. Linework is demanding, physical and can occasionally be dangerous. Our crews approach each task with a strong emphasis on safety and teamwork, taking pride in their craft and the trust our members place in them. On April 13, 2026, we will celebrate Lineworker Appreciation Day, but one day is hardly enough. Each day, we express our gratitude to lineworkers for their unwavering service and dedication, which form the backbone of our cooperative.
Our mission is our members!
