My trees havent caused any power outages. Why are you cutting or pruning them?
A. To provide safe and reliable service, Duke Energy must remove brush and trim trees along the power lines. These practices and techniques are approved by nationally recognized arborists. We have an obligation to provide safe, reliable electricity. Our ability to provide reliable electric service is influenced by the maintenance of trees and brush around power lines. The development of an Integrated Vegetation Management Program allows us to evaluate power line areas and determine the best method for maintaining reliable service from the poles and lines. The objective of the Integrated Vegetation Management Program is to maintain the lines, before the trees and brush are close enough to cause outages, in a manner that is consistent with good arboricultural practices. When tree workers are clearing the lines in an area, keep in mind they are helping us provide you with safe, reliable power in a way that minimizes any adverse effects to the health of your trees.
