Restoration Services
When storms hit, it’s about more than restoring power. It’s about restoring confidence and trust.
Resources for Restoration Services
A new offering by Centuri combines our existing line construction capabilities with fully vetted line crew and logistics partners to provide a full-range of incident response support services to utility customers.
Centuri is invested in the communities where we live and work, making storm response not just business, but personal. Thanks to our large scale and geographic reach, our dedicated crew members often respond to storms in their own backyards. We take pride in restoring our own communities and connecting our friends and neighbors to essential power. We partner with non-profits and contribute to local organizations while actively working to restore our communities.
