To learn more about NRE and its latest developments, we sit down with Jacob Grice, Executive Vice President of Operations. Grice explains that, whilst NRE has earned national trust in respective fields, the company’ s story is rooted in long-term partnerships:“ NRE was founded in 1953 by Sherrill Stockton, a former Navy chief electrician. Our first project was a small substation in Jackson, Ohio for American Electric Power( AEP), and we’ re proud to still serve AEP more than seven decades later.
“ AEP is a valued long-term partner, and we continue to support their transmission, distribution, and telecommunication organizations” says Grice.“ We’ ve grown alongside our customers, because they trust in the way we plan, execute, and deliver. That’ s the foundation for our expansion west. We’ ve grown by doing the right work the right way, one successful project and relationship at a time.”
Consistent standards
The backbone of NRE’ s growth is its substation construction and maintenance division, which includes more than 1000 skilled employees that support critical electrical infrastructure nationwide. This
