Working year-round to make the
electric grid stronger
We’re committed to delivering electricity your business can count on
in good weather and bad. That’s why we work year-round to make
the electric system more resilient. We inspect poles to ensure they
meet our standards for strength and clear vegetation growing near
power lines, which is a common cause of power flickers and outages.
These are just a few ways we strengthen the electric system.
