Did you know trees are responsible for an overwhelming majority of outages during extreme weather? The closer tree branches grow next to power lines, the greater the risk of power disruptions.

They removed overgrown tree limbs that were hanging near an electrical circuit, improving reliability for nearby homes and businesses.
