CHU-CON INCORPORATED, now operating as MIDSOUTH POWER SERVICES, was founded by Chuck Sharpe in 1982. Initially focused on commercial and residential contracting, the company pivoted to electric utility construction during the early 1990s after a series of storms caused widespread damage to electrical infrastructure. Capitalizing on this need, Chuck collaborated with utility crews to aid in restoration efforts, which laid the groundwork for the company's future endeavors in electric utility services.
By 2000, MIDSOUTH POWER SERVICES entered a partnership with Louisville Gas & Electric & Kentucky Utilities, further solidifying its position in the industry. The company specializes in various electric utility construction services, including substation construction and maintenance, transmission access strategies, heavy excavation, erosion sediment control, and environmental remediation. They also provide telecommunication construction and maintenance solutions, as well as underground and overhead primary/secondary construction and maintenance.
Operating primarily in Kentucky and the surrounding states, MIDSOUTH POWER SERVICES is dedicated to tailoring its approach to meet the specific needs of its clients while maintaining a paramount commitment to safety. The company's culture emphasizes employee engagement and safety practices essential for thriving in the electric utility construction sector. Throughout the years, MIDSOUTH POWER SERVICES has established itself as a reliable partner in the industry, continuously adapting to the ever-evolving marketplace while delivering exceptional services to its customers.
