Actions we’re taking to improve reliability in Detroit’s West Side neighborhoods

  • Inspecting miles of circuits.
  • Trimming miles of trees growing close to power lines.
  • Hardening miles of infrastructure.
  • Installing new, stronger utility poles.
  • Replacing wood crossarms with fiberglass crossarms on overhead power lines, which reduces wire down events during extreme weather.
