GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- Crews from We Energies and WPS will be in Puerto Rico longer than originally expected.
It’s a big job, but someone has to see it through. For workers like WPS Field Manager Craig Kahoun, it’s been worth every minute.
“The experience so far has just been unbelievable” he said.
It is cheaper to keep the current group in Puerto Rico so rather than deploying a new group, there is more days of work ahead of the team on site.
The start of the trip posed many questions for the workers.
“We did not know if we were going to be staying in tents. We did not know what the conditions were going to be like, and we did not know if the Puerto Ricans would be edgy for not having power” Kahoun said. “People here are just unbelievably strong. They are just wonderful people with very little. Their homes have been wrecked, and they feed us and bring us water.”
Power in Puerto Rico is about 71 percent restored.
