As a result of Hurricane Wilma, West Florida Electric sent six of its line personnel and five support vehicles to Florida Keys Electric Cooperative headquartered in Tavernier, FL on Monday, October 24 to assist in power restoration efforts. The cooperatives’ line distribution system sustained severe damage associated with the effects of this storm.

The majority of the worker’s time was spent replacing and erecting poles, lines, transformers and other equipment in and near Tavernier, FL. The local personnel assisted the employees of Florida Keys Electric for seven days.
