This was the case last fall when our group of utilities came together to restore power to the Turks and Caicos Islands following the devastating impacts of Hurricane Irma.  The emergency response team included approximately 250 employees and contract personnel from all Fortis utilities who worked safely and efficiently to restore power to the country in less than 60 days. 

The restoration team rebuilt and restored many kilometres of transmission, distribution and service lines and replaced approximately 1,500 utility poles.  The quick response was a testament to the strength and expertise of Fortis operations personnel and our ability to act quickly.  It also demonstrated our commitment to our customers and was one our proudest achievements in 2017.
