NB Power is sending 10 line crews to Florida to assist in the recovery from recent hurricanes.
The line crews and supervisory staff will leave from Fredericton today, and are expected to be in the state for at least two weeks.
Several million people are without electricity in Florida and the power system has suffered severe damage.
The New Brunswick crews will be working in the Daytona area on system reconstruction.
Expenses for the response effort will be borne by the Florida utilities.
Nova Scotia power says it has also designated crews and equipment to be sent south, once it gets the go-ahead from Florida Light and Power.
