What COVID-19 Means For Electrical Utilities

Our world runs on power.

That reality has never been more evident — or starkly presented — than in the last three months, as the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps across the world and forces billions of people indoors.

From the Via Del Corso in Rome to Bourbon Street in New Orleans, public spaces that once bustled with activity are now empty as we try to slow the virus’ spread.

We binge-watch our favorite TV shows. We browse the internet for updates — or a moment’s distraction. We work from home and check in with friends and loved ones.

All of these activities rely on a steady flow of power. And the field service teams responsible for keeping our society moving forward.
