What does KCP&L do to reduce the incidence of outages?
Reducing the number and duration of outages is KCP&L’s goal: • We trim trees on a regular cycle to prevent them from damaging or blowing into power lines. • Lightning arresters are in place to provide a harmless path to the ground for electrical surges. • We install animal guards around our field equipment to protect against short circuits caused by animals. • KCP&L continually upgrades and expands our facilities to keep pace with growth in our area and enhance reliability.
