We’re working to build a stronger, more modern grid to ensure you have reliable power now and far in the future. That’s why we’re rebuilding and upgrading the electric infrastructure in Downtown, Midtown and beyond. When the work is complete, our customers will see improved reliability and safety; reduced number of power outages; and increased grid capacity. The additional capacity will support the move toward cleaner energy solutions like electric vehicles, as well as new and existing residents and businesses.

• Expanding and modernizing the substations that deliver power to homes and businesses.
• Installing new underground and overhead wires, transformers and other electrical equipment.
• Installing new, stronger utility poles.
• Replacing wood crossarms with fiberglass crossarms on utility poles, which reduces wire down events during extreme weather.
• Inspecting and upgrading miles of circuits.
• Hardening miles of infrastructure.
• Installing smart grid devices, which can reroute power to many customers during an outage.
• Trimming trees growing close to power lines.
