Seven AMP utility line workers left on Saturday for Redding to provide assistance. AMP is participating in the assistance effort as part of a mutual aid agreement under the Northern California Power Agency, of which AMP is a member. AMP crews expect to be in Redding for up to two weeks, framing and setting utility poles to allow the restringing of electric wire.

“Whenever AMP has the capacity and the ability to provide mutual aid to another utility and help thousands of people in need, we will,” said Nicolas Procos, general manager of Alameda’s community-owned utility. “We are proud to support the residents of Redding during this unprecedented time.”
