• Since Monday, March 31, five SSM PUC Powerline Technicians (PLTs) have been working tirelessly in Northern Michigan to help restore power to areas severely impacted by a recent ice storm. Despite the challenging conditions, including the use of snow machines to access remote locations, the team made significant progress in restoring power to affected customers, who treated our employees with overwhelming kindness and respect. Yesterday, two PUC PLTs departed early this morning for the Orillia area to assist with restoration efforts. Some of the crew members returning from Michigan arrived home just long enough to grab a change of clothes before heading straight to Orillia.
