What is NERCs rule on tree-trimming in local neighborhoods?
NERC’s tree-trimming standard applies only to high-voltage transmission lines of 200 kV or higher, or transmission lines of lower voltages if the Regional Entity deems the line critical to bulk power system reliability. If such a line runs through your neighborhood, then the owner of that line must keep the vegetation in that area trimmed to meet the NERC standard. The NERC standard does not apply to lower-voltage lines such as those of the local distribution systems. Most distribution or local power lines that run through neighborhoods and back yards likely fall under the purview of local utilities and state regulatory agencies.
