PEC finishes strong at 2018 Texas Lineman’s Rodeo

On July 21, our lineworkers made us #PECProud as they endured triple-digit temperatures to compete against staff from other electric utilities across the state. The events were based on the skills lineworkers must master in their daily work, including pole climbing, hurt man rescue and more.
