Trees are the primary cause of blinks and outages on GLE’s system. Brush growing near power lines hinders a repair crew’s ability to get to damaged lines quickly and adds to the outage time. Keeping power lines clear of trees and brush is essential for safe and reliable electric service. To achieve greater reliability for our members, GLE’s Vegetation Management department performs routine maintenance of trees and vegetation on our more than 11,000 miles of overhead line.

You can also help by making sure the trees and brush planted on your property are clear of the power line right-of-way. Our tree planting guide above helps you determine the right tree, for the right place, to keep your electric service safe and reliable.
