JEA lineworkers excelled in a national annual competition this year, prompting honors from the Jacksonville City Council.
Teams for the city-owned utility won awards in six categories at the 2025 Public Power Lineworkers Rodeo, held in March in Roseville, California. Fifty-two public power utilities nationwide took part in the competition to demonstrate their skills and knowledge of linework.
JEA’s awards include first-place Overall Apprentice for Ryan Kornegay, a three-time winner in the category. David Hicken, Caleb Macabitas and Cody Stokes placed second in the Overall Journeyman Team category.
