IES Receives Praise for Storm Repair Efforts

This weekend marked another outstanding team effort as our IES crews stepped up once again to support communities across the UK.

Following the successful restoration of power supplies in areas served by SP Energy Networks, ScottishPower, and UK Power Networks, our teams were swiftly redeployed to assist Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) as their recovery operations continue.

Our terms are now headed to Perth, where they will undergo induction before deployment alongside the SSEN team. This rapid mobilisation reflects the strength of our partnerships and the shared commitment to restoring vital services as quickly and safely as possible.

In total, more than 200 linesmen & supported by dedicated operational staff, have worked tirelessly across multiple regions over recent days. Their unwavering professionalism, resilience, and teamwork have made a real difference to thousands of customers.

Chris Burchell, Managing Director at SSEN, thanked our own Conor O’Neill on Linkedin

“Many thanks to you Conor and your teams providing vital restoration support to our customers – much appreciated!”

We extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved. Your efforts embody the spirit of collaboration and service that drives our industry—and ensures the lights keep coming back on when it matters most.
