Free Virtual Energy Workshop



We have a great opportunity coming up for families looking for resources to educate and entertain their children during the COVID-19 pandemic!

The Energy Monsters are hitting the (cyber) road with a live Eye Spy Virtual Energy Workshop on Tuesday, April 28 at 10 a.m. 

Families can register their children to attend for free by filling out a simple form at https://energyright.com/residential/energy-monsters/

Participants will receive registration information for the virtual workshop via email. We will also send reminder emails one day before and one hour before the workshop begins. The workshop will be 30-45 minutes long.

The workshop will be facilitated by professional educator Grant England and hosted via Zoom. 

There will be a number of security measures to reduce privacy risks when using the platform. These steps include:

  • Requiring a password to enter the meeting (each registrant will receive meeting login info via email) 
  • Disabling screen sharing for participants
  • Muting participants
  • Disabling private chat among participants
  • Locking the meeting after 5-10 minutes and enabling a Waiting Room feature that allows us to add/remove participants if necessary

Superstorm Sandy Restoration: Update!

Our Superstorm Sandy Restoration Team of 33 MLGW employees has made it safely to Long Island, NY.

They arrived Sunday and started restoration on Monday, working 16-hour shifts as they do when we are in emergency restoration mode here in Shelby County.

The crews have been performing tasks such as re-setting poles and power lines, and installing transformers.

The big difference, of course, is that they are hundreds of miles away from home, and due to the lack of lodging space, are sleeping in trailers that have been set up with bunk beds.

Steve Ledford, General Supervisor, Distribution Support, reports that the crews are in good spirits and know that they are part of a nationwide effort to restore power to the residents of the Northeast.

The staging area includes more than 3,000 workers from across the nation! As of this afternoon, the Long Island Power Authority's outage map shows more than 198,000 customers still without power.
