What is LIPA doing concerning reliability?
LIPA dedicates itself to providing Long Island with a safe, reliable supply of electricity. To do this, we have a number of proactive programs in place that help reduce electric outages and improve safety. Our most effective program in this area is our Forestry Program, which features line clearance (trimming tree branches away from electric wires). LIPA has been named a Tree Line USA utility by the National Arbor Day Foundation. LIPA is the only electric utility in New York State and one of only 38 utilities nationwide to achieve this distinction. the Tree Line USA program recognizes utilities that meet three requirements: a program of quality tree care, annual worker training, and a tree planting and public education. Better tree care means beautiful trees for the future and savings for the company and its customers.
