It's the same as Andy says in Hampshire: only active after a storms / outages, and even then just minimal chatter--although important, I guess, if you're working on a line that's about to be re-energized. Also, at least in this area, the talkgroups are all from all over the place.. I only monitor the Augusta tower, but almost never hear Augusta line crews--usually it's Fort Ashby shop and Petersburg line crews. It's also good to know where they are when they're actively looking for an outage.
