Fewer Interruptions

We're upgrading and installing new equipment on overhead and underground power lines to reduce service interruptions caused by wildlife, severe weather and equipment failures. Last year, our grid was up and running 99.94% of the time.

Smarter Grid

We’re adding technology that senses and isolates disruption in our system and automatically reroutes power for as many customers as possible. Armed with more accurate outage locations, crews can respond faster to restore service for remaining customers. When customers experienced outages last year, 98% were restored within 24 hours.
