Rochester Gas & Electric

On this #GivingTuesday, we’re proud to support so many great organizations impacting lives across New York. We encourage everyone to consider giving today. Together, we can make a difference.

Our employees organized a food drive for Trillium Health NY food pantry and delivered the results this week, just in time for the holiday. Our people care about their community, and we’re always happy to see them sharing their blessings with others.

ICYMI: We are using drone technology to inspect thousands of miles of transmission lines to ensure our customers have power when they need it. These inspections help spot issues before they become potential, bigger problems.

Wishing you a safe and happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for our customers, employees, and communities.

We’re honored to recognize Shaquasia Constantine, CSM, one of RBJ's Forty Under 40 honorees. The award recognizes outstanding young professionals who are successful in their careers and give back in meaningful ways to the Rochester community. Asia is a lead programmer on Avangrid’s Operational Technologies Projects Team. Congratulations!

Earlier this week we helped residents take the first step in emergency readiness. Thank you to New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services for teaching two sessions that equipped people with essential tools in the event a disaster strikes.

We held a ceremony yesterday on Veteran's Day to dedicate a plaque at our Scottsville Rd. site which lists the names of RG&E employees who served our country during World War II and in memory of eight employees who made the ultimate sacrifice. We also recognized 99-year-old George Becker, a New York State Veterans Hall of Fame inductee and RG&E retiree. We even raised the POW/MIA flag in recogniztion of those who served. It was a solemn occasion to honor veterans.🇺🇸

It was a night to remember, honor, and celebrate the brave service members who fought for our freedom at the Veterans Outreach Center, Inc. Stars and Stripes Celebration. We’re honored to support our military veterans and families across the communities we serve and beyond.

We look forward to honoring the legacy of service members in the Rochester community on Veterans Day. We will commemorate an historic plaque and recognize those who served our country, including a retiree and NYS Veterans Hall of Fame inductee.

A special thanks to Plug Power for hosting Rochester Gas & Electric CEO Trish Nilsen and team at their Gigafactory in Henrietta – seeing first hand the importance of supplying electricity to one of the businesses leading the fight against #climatechange through the hydrogen economy. Thanks for the tour Robert Johnson and Tim Voorheis!
