Safety and reliability, year-round

We work 24/7 to keep the power on safely and reliably, even in extreme weather. That’s why we’re building our system to be more resilient long term for all seasons and weather conditions. We’re investing nearly half a billion dollars across our system in wildfire mitigation strategies over the coming years. This includes developing an industry-leading meteorology program, rebuilding portions of the grid with equipment upgrades, and using advanced technology to monitor the system while increasing inspections and vegetation maintenance on our lines.

It’s all part of our commitment to continue delivering reliable service now and for decades to come.
