What are cable poles? They are a vital, direct link between the DTE overhead system for energy delivery and our underground infrastructure. In Detroit, our line crew improved an existing cable poll in an alleyway between Second Avenue and Henry Street. They safely added a “second” cable connection, one that can even act as a second source of power if there’s ever any problem with the original cable. Another important upgrade ensuring DTE power keeps reliably flowing for Detroiters.
You may see more of our crews in the coming months as part of our accelerated electric reliability projects in your area, including more tree trimming and infrastructure updates. All these projects are underway to improve your service and reliability for the short and long term.
