Logan (Utah). Light and Power

Incorporated in 1904, Logan City Light & Power is a locally-owned public utility, one of many city-run power systems in the state. It is dedicated to maintaining the electric utility system and providing safe, reliable service 24 hours per day. In order to supply safe and dependable power, it is continually upgrading, repairing, and maintaining power lines and other equipment. This dangerous work requires extensive training. Each crew member completes a rigorous program that includes four years of apprenticeship with on-the-job and written training to become certified to work on high voltage power system equipment and lines. To protect the public and the employees, crews follow strict industry safety rules when working on energized high voltage lines and equipment. The five divisions within the Department are Distribution (three line crews and a line service crew), Engineering, Metering, the System Operations Control Center (SOCC), and Administration. These divisions include 31 Light & Power employees who work together.
