	2	Business
	We are one of the largest providers of energy solutions for investor-owned, municipal and co-operative electric utilities in the United States. Since our founding in 1945, we have evolved from our roots as a specialty non-unionized contractor for electric utilities focused on the distribution sector in the southeastern United States to a national, leading turnkey energy solutions provider with diverse capabilities servicing over 300 customers. Our comprehensive suite of energy and communication solutions includes facilities planning and siting, permitting, engineering, design, installation, maintenance and repair of power delivery systems, including utility-grade solar construction projects and storm-related services. As a result of the acquisition of Synergetic Design Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary UC Synergetic, Inc. (together “UCS”) expanding the size and scope of our engineering business, we decided in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to change our reportable segments. As a result of these changes, we operate our business as two reportable segments: Construction and All Other Operations. See Note 13 for further information on our segments.
	We currently are pursuing additional international opportunities. We believe that there will be large and financially attractive projects to pursue in international markets over the next few years as developing regions install or develop their electric infrastructure. We believe that our reputation and experience combined with our broad platform of service offerings allow us to opportunistically bid on attractive international projects.
	We monitor revenue by two categories of services: core and storm-related. We use this breakdown because core services represent ongoing service revenues, most of which are generated by our customers’ recurring maintenance needs, and storm-related revenues represent additional revenue opportunities that depend on weather conditions.
	The table below sets forth our revenues by category of service for the periods indicated:

	3	Acquisitions
	UC Synergetic
	On July 2, 2012, we completed the acquisition of UCS, a privately-held company headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, for $69,654, net of cash acquired of $666. The funding for the acquisition consisted of cash borrowed from the $75,000 accordion loan feature of our existing revolving credit facility that was finalized on June 27, 2012. UCS provides engineering and consulting services focusing on (i) energy distribution, transmission and substation infrastructure, including storm assessment and inspection, and (ii) wireline and wireless communications. This acquisition extended our footprint in the Northeast and Midwest and resulted in our being one of the largest utility infrastructure engineering and design firms in the United States.
	The purchase price of $69,654 has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the effective date of the acquisition based on estimated fair values as summarized in the following table:
	Current assets		$	13,632
	Property and equipment			1,760
	Intangible assets			39,800
	Goodwill			30,736
	Other			100
	Total assets acquired			86,028
	Current liabilities			(3,009	)
	Deferred income taxes			(13,365	)
	Total liabilities assumed			(16,374	)
	Net assets		$	69,654
	The intangible assets recognized are attributable to customer relationships totaling $34,000, non-compete agreements with the seller totaling $1,800, and a trademark totaling $4,000 and are being amortized over twelve, three and twenty years, respectively. The allocation of the purchase price, which primarily used a discounted cash flow approach with respect to identified intangible assets, was based upon Level 3 fair value inputs and a discount rate consistent with the inherent risk of each of the acquired assets. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and $5,357 is deductible for tax purposes.
	The financial results of the operations of UCS have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition, July 2, 2012.

	Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less selling costs. Fair value for this purpose is generally determined based on prices in the used equipment market. Assets held for sale totaled $50 and $175 at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All of the assets held for sale at September 30, 2013 are expected to be sold in the next 12 months.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	'
	5	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	All derivative instruments are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their respective fair values. Changes in fair value are recognized either in income (loss) or other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”), depending on whether the transaction qualifies for hedge accounting and, if so, the nature of the underlying exposure being hedged and how effective the derivatives are at offsetting price movements in the underlying exposure. The effective portions recorded in OCI are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings.
	We have used certain derivative instruments to manage risk relating to diesel fuel and interest rate exposure. Derivative instruments are not entered into for trading or speculative purposes. We document all relationships between derivative instruments and related items, as well as our risk-management objectives and strategies for undertaking various derivative transactions.
	Interest Rate Risk
	We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates on borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which bears interest based on LIBOR, plus an applicable margin dependent upon our total leverage ratio. We use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our revolving credit facility.
	Effective January 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “January 2013 Swap”) with a notional amount of $10,000 to help manage a portion of our interest risk related to our floating-rate debt. Under the January 2013 Swap, we pay a fixed rate of 0.42% and receive a rate equivalent to the 30-day LIBOR, adjusted monthly. The January 2013 Swap qualified for hedge accounting and is designated as a cash flow hedge. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the January 2013 Swap for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The swap will expire in June 2015.
	Effective December 2012, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements (the “December 2012 Swaps”), with notional amounts of $10,000 and $25,000, respectively, to help manage a portion of our interest risk related to our floating-rate debt. Under the December 2012 Swaps, we pay fixed rates of 0.42% and 0.45%, respectively, and receive a rate equivalent to the 30-day LIBOR, adjusted monthly. The December 2012 Swaps qualified for hedge accounting and are designated as cash flow hedges. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the December 2012 Swaps for the three months ended September 30, 2013. These swaps will expire in June 2015.
	Effective September 2012, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements (the “September 2012 Swaps”), each with notional amounts of $25,000, to help manage a portion of our interest risk related to our floating-rate debt. Under the September 2012 Swaps, we pay fixed rates of 0.40% and 0.42%, respectively, and receive a rate equivalent to the 30-day LIBOR, adjusted monthly. The September 2012 Swaps qualified for hedge accounting and are designated as cash flow hedges. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the September 2012 Swaps for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These swaps will expire in February and March 2015, respectively.
	The net derivative income (loss) recorded in OCI will be reclassified into earnings over the term of the underlying cash flow hedge. The amount that will be reclassified into earnings will vary depending upon the movement of the underlying interest rates. As interest rates decrease, the charge to earnings will increase. Conversely, as interest rates increase, the charge to earnings will decrease.
	Diesel Fuel Risk
	We have a large fleet of vehicles and equipment that primarily uses diesel fuel. As a result, we have market risk for changes in diesel fuel prices. If diesel prices rise, our gross profit and operating income could be negatively affected due to additional costs that may not be fully recovered through increases in prices to customers.
	We periodically enter into diesel fuel swaps to manage our exposure to diesel price volatility. As of September 30, 2013, we had hedged approximately 60% of our next 12 months of projected diesel fuel purchases at prices ranging from $3.79 to $4.23 per gallon at a weighted-average price of $3.91 per gallon. We are not currently utilizing hedge accounting for any active diesel fuel derivatives and as such changes in the fair value of the diesel fuel swaps are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Debt	'
	6	Debt
	On August 24, 2011, we entered into a $200,000 revolving credit facility that replaced our prior credit facility. Our revolving credit facility matures in August 2015. We repaid outstanding term loans and borrowings on the revolver of our prior credit facility upon entering into our existing revolving credit facility. The obligations under our revolving credit facility are unconditionally guaranteed by us and each of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic and first-tier foreign subsidiaries and secured on a first-priority basis by security interests (subject to permitted liens) in substantially all assets owned by us and each of our subsidiaries, subject to limited exceptions. Total costs associated with entering into our existing revolving credit facility were approximately $1,800, including the commitment fee, which are capitalized and being amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.
	Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate at our option of either (i) the Base Rate, defined as the greater of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.50% or (ii) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00%. The margins are applied based on our leverage ratio, which is computed quarterly. We are subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.625% and letter of credit fees between 2.00% and 3.00% based on our leverage ratio. We are also subject to letter of credit fronting fees of 0.125% per annum for amounts available to be withdrawn.
	Our revolving credit facility contains a number of other affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on dissolutions, sales of assets, investments, and indebtedness and liens. Our revolving credit facility also includes a requirement that we maintain (i) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of total debt to adjusted EBITDA (as defined in our revolving credit facility; measured on a trailing four-quarter basis), of no more than 3.75 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, declining to 3.50 on June 30, 2012 and declining to 3.00 on June 30, 2013 and thereafter, and (ii) a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in our revolving credit facility) of at least 1.25 to 1.00.
	On June 27, 2012, we exercised the accordion feature of our revolving credit facility and entered into a commitment increase agreement with our lenders thereby increasing the lenders’ commitments by $75,000, from $200,000 to $275,000. Total costs associated with the new accordion commitment were approximately $800, which are capitalized and being amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.
	As of September 30, 2013, we had $220,000 in borrowings and our availability under our revolving credit facility was $51,000 (after giving effect to $4,000 of outstanding standby letters of credit).

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	7	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair value rules currently apply to all financial assets and liabilities and for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are required to be recognized or disclosed at fair value. For this purpose, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
	U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
		•		Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that we are able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
		•		Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
		•		Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
	As of September 30, 2013, we held certain items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These included interest rate derivative instruments and diesel fuel derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are used to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations and a portion of our diesel fuel costs. These derivative instruments currently consist of swaps only. See Note 5 for further information on our derivative instruments and hedging activities.
	Our interest rate derivative instruments and diesel fuel derivative instruments consist of over-the-counter contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair values for our interest rate swaps and diesel fuel swaps are based on current settlement values and represent the estimated amount we would have received or paid upon termination of these agreements. The fair values are derived using pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves and commodity forward prices, and therefore are classified as Level 2. We also consider counterparty credit risk in our determination of all estimated fair values. We have consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented.
	At September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the carrying amounts and fair values for our interest rate swaps and diesel fuel swaps were as follows:
			September 30,
	Description		2013			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3

	Diesel fuel swap agreements		$	7		$	—	$	7		$	—

	Interest rate swap agreements			(77	)		—		(77	)		—
	Total		$	(371	)	$	—	$	(371	)	$	—
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of our debt approximates fair value based on the market-determined, variable interest rates.
	Assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include assets held for sale. Assets held for sale are valued using Level 2 inputs, primarily observed prices for similar assets in the used equipment market.

	The liability method is used in accounting for income taxes as required by U.S. GAAP. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
	In assessing the value of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it was more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon these considerations, we provide a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of certain of its deferred tax assets to their net expected realizable value, if applicable. We have concluded that no valuation allowance is required for deferred tax assets at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
	Effective income tax rates of 4.6% and 40.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, varied from the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% due to several factors, including changes in permanent differences primarily related to the Internal Revenue Code Section 199 deduction and Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) deduction limitations for compensation, meals and entertainment, state income and gross margin taxes and the relative size of our consolidated income before income taxes. In addition, North Carolina enacted new legislation on July 23, 2013 which will lower the corporate tax rate in 2014 and again in 2015. Accordingly, we recognized the income tax accounting effects of the changes in tax rates during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

	In February 2013, the FASB issued final guidance related to the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income that requires entities to report, either on their income statement or in a footnote to their financial statements, the effects on earnings from items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance was effective prospectively for our interim period ended September 30, 2013.

	Legal Proceedings
	We are from time to time a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, (i) compensation for alleged personal injury, workers’ compensation, employment discrimination, breach of contract or property damages, (ii) punitive damages, civil penalties or other damages, or (iii) injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we accrue reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Performance Bonds and Parent Guarantees
	In the ordinary course of business, we are required by certain customers to post surety or performance bonds in connection with services that we provide to them. These bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that we will perform under the terms of a contract and that we will pay subcontractors and vendors. If we fail to perform under a contract or to pay subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. We must reimburse the surety for any expenses or outlays it incurs. As of September 30, 2013, we had $115,481 in surety bonds outstanding. To date, we have not been required to make any reimbursements to our sureties for bond-related costs. We believe that it is unlikely that we will have to fund significant claims under our surety arrangements in the foreseeable future. Pike Electric Corporation, from time to time, guarantees the obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including obligations under certain contracts with customers.
	Collective Bargaining Agreements
	Several of our subsidiaries are party to collective bargaining agreements with unions representing craftworkers performing field construction operations. The collective bargaining agreements expire at various times and have typically been renegotiated and renewed on terms similar to the ones contained in the expiring agreements. The agreements require those subsidiaries to pay specified wages, provide certain benefits to their respective union employees and contribute certain amounts to multi-employer pension plans and employee benefit trusts. A subsidiary’s multi-employer pension plan contribution rates generally are specified in the collective bargaining agreements (usually on an annual basis), and contributions are made to the plans on a “pay-as-you-go” basis based on its union employee payrolls, which cannot be determined for future periods because the location and number of union employees that any such subsidiary employs at any given time and the plans in which it may participate vary depending on the projects it has ongoing at any time and the need for union resources in connection with those projects. If any of these subsidiaries withdrew from, or otherwise terminated its participation in, one or more multi-employer pension plans or if the plans were to otherwise become underfunded, such subsidiary could be assessed liabilities for additional contributions related to the underfunding of these plans. We are not aware of any amounts of withdrawal liability that have been incurred as a result of a withdrawal by any of our subsidiaries from any multi-employer defined benefit pension plans.
	Indemnities
	We generally indemnify our customers for the services we provide under our contracts, as well as other specified liabilities, which may subject us to indemnity claims and liabilities and related litigation. As of September 30, 2013, we do not believe that any future indemnity claims against us would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	13	Business Segment Information
	As a result of the acquisition of UCS expanding the size and scope of our engineering business, we decided in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 to change our reportable segments. Our operations are now managed in four business units, which are shown as two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Construction and All Other Operations. These segments are organized principally by service category. Each segment has its own management that is responsible for the operations of the segment’s businesses.
	The types of services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues are as follows:
		•		Construction includes installation, maintenance and repair of power delivery systems, including storm restoration services. The Construction segment accounted for 82% and 83% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
		•		All Other Operations consists of three business units that perform siting, permitting, engineering and design of power and communication delivery systems, including storm assessment and inspection services. The business units reflected in the All Other Operations segment individually do not meet the thresholds to be reported as separate reportable segments.
	We evaluate the operating performance of our segments based upon segment income from operations. The Other column below represents certain corporate general and administrative costs not allocated to the segments. We review total assets at the consolidated level and, accordingly, those amounts have not been disclosed for each reportable segment. The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
