Vegetation Management
New England is heavily forested. Although trees of many types and sizes enhance our region’s natural beauty, they can also cause problems when they grow too close to or fall onto power lines. Trees cause up to 90 percent of outages during storms.
Where We Maintain Vegetation
Our robust vegetation management programs include thoughtful tree trimming and removals near roadside power lines and high-voltage power line corridors to help ensure public safety and reliable electric service.
Transmission System Vegetation Management
The transmission system includes the structures and power lines within our right of way corridors that carry high-voltage electricity from power generation sources and substations.
