Our entire neighborhood was without power for 5 days and 4 nights with no updates from AES after the first 48 hours. Workers entered the neighborhood and left several times. When approached, workers indicated AES has cut expenses back so severely that they don’t even stock parts to repair these outages and had to have them trucked in from out of town, extending the wait time. We each lost hundreds in groceries, risked health without CPAPs and lost expensive meds needing refrigerations.
In this day and age having trees take down power lines is absurd
Trim the damn trees from the lines AES IPL did it all the time
Bury the power lines … problem solved
This is an incredibly expensive proposition.
Agreed. I did a capstone thesis about 20 years ago about the CBA of burying lines and it’s upfront cost vs the expense of tree trimming the same tree almost every 7 years because of growth, storm damage, lost consumer goods value, etc. While more expensive upfront, it pays for itself in less maintenance and support by. 13 year time period…20 years ago! If done in coordination with when new streets, sidewalks or development, it’s not as expensive as you think. Most of the suburban planned developments were built with no power lines. Just one into the neighborhood. And in 11 years we’ve never lost power. We need to start pushing for the burying of these lines, plus we get the positive of a less visually littered landscape.
