Gibson Electric and Gibson Connect:Two companies, one mission

By: Kentucky Living

Gibson Electric and Gibson Connect are working together with a single mission in mind: To make life better for the people and communities we serve in West Tennessee and Western Kentucky.


That mission shows up every day in the way our teams work together to keep your lights on and your internet running.
It starts with our electric lineworkers. Before a single strand of fiber goes up in our service area, the lineworkers set the poles. They build the infrastructure that everything else attaches to, and they make sure those poles are safe, sound and ready to carry the equipment our fiber crews need.


Our fiber technicians build on that foundation. The lines they string and the equipment they maintain ride on the poles the lineworkers built. During routine maintenance or an outage, our fiber and electric crews coordinate to do their jobs safely, working together to get your power and Wi-Fi back on as quickly as possible.


When it’s time to connect a home or business to Gibson Connect, our fiber installers plug into the power our electric teams maintain. Without reliable power, there’s no Wi-Fi. The two services start at the same pole and end at the same home, working together to keep people connected.


That same fiber network is a critical piece of our electric operations. Our electric teams use it to monitor outages, track usage for homes, businesses and substations and respond to problems immediately. When something goes wrong on the grid, we know almost as soon as it occurs. That means faster restoration, fewer surprises and better service for you, our customer-owner.


Two companies. One mission. One team of people who live in the same towns as the people we serve. We’re the parents at school pickup, the neighbors at the football game, the faces you see at the diner on Saturday morning. We work together to keep the lights on and the Wi-Fi humming, in every kind of weather and every hour.

It’s not a slogan. It’s how we work—every day.
