Here’s a bright idea for saving energy: switch to LED light bulbs! 💡

LED bulbs use less energy and last longer than traditional incandescent bulbs. Start by replacing the bulbs you use most often for an easy efficiency upgrade.

⚡ Watts Up Wednesday, Episode 26: Right-of-Way Contractors in Action! 🌳

There’s a lot more that goes into keeping your lights on than you might think!

This week, we’re taking you behind the scenes for a firsthand look at right-of-way clearing! From trimming trees and removing vegetation to operating specialized equipment and coordinating crews, there are many moving parts that go into maintaining a safe and reliable electric system.

Each step plays an important role in protecting our members, keeping our crews safe, and reducing the risk of power outages caused by trees and overgrown vegetation.

It’s all part of our commitment to providing safe, reliable electricity to the communities we serve! ⚡
