Why does SCE&G prune and cut trees and brush along power lines?
A. The Public Service Commission of SC recognizes the importance of SCE&G properly maintaining vegetation around its power lines and requires that such maintenance be performed. Vegetation of all kinds, including trees, brush and vines, can threaten your safety and the safety of SCE&G crews if they grow too close to power lines. In addition to safety, vegetation causes power outages and limits SCE&G’s access to its lines to make necessary repairs.
