How We Respond to Outages

What Causes Power Outages?

We do our best to prevent and avoid power outages, but sometimes they do occur. Most power outages comes from damage to power lines due to falling trees and branches. This is one reason we work year round – through right-of-way clearing – to ensure power lines in our service territory stand little risk of being damaged by trees, branches or other types of vegetation.

Despite our best efforts, during major storms, damage can occur to transmission stations, substations and power lines.
