Duquesne Light Company (DLC) has dispatched crews to Florida’s Gulf Coast to assist Duke Energy in restoring power to those affected by Hurricane Milton. As of Wednesday, Oct. 9, 65 crew members, including lineworkers, mechanics, safety representatives and other staff members, have been deployed and are currently stationed in Davenport, Florida. An additional 15 underground crew and staff members will depart Pittsburgh tomorrow, Oct. 10, for the Clearwater area.

DLC crews have been on the road assisting with storm restoration efforts since Sept. 27. Most recently, crews helped restore power to residents in Virginia after Hurricane Helene left significant damage in the Appalachian region.
