From providing energy for customers’ homes 和 businesses to responding when severe weather hits, maintaining 可靠的服务 is an integral part of what we do every day. 事实上, 我们的灯开了超过99小时.9%的时间! We have a team of operators who are monitoring the grid 24/7, ensuring you have the energy you need every hour of every day when you flip that switch.

We Maintain, Inspect 和 Improve the Grid

We have a proactive plan of scheduled maintenance 和 inspections to help ensure safe, 可靠的服务.

• • We are replacing power lines buried over 40 years ago with more modern, reliable lines. When this project is finished, we’ll have upgraded 7,000,000 feet of power lines! 进一步了解我们的 地下电缆更换工程.
  • We build 和 maintain thous和s of miles of power lines 和 hundreds of substations to ensure safe, 可靠的服务. 查看我们最新的地图 重大项目, like new transmission lines 和 substations, that help keep our system reliable.
  • To prevent power loss 和 hazards due to fire, our crews clear brush within a 20-foot radius of power poles in the Idaho desert. This creates a defensible space around power poles, reducing the number of poles lost during wildfires. It also improves safety 和 reliability for customers. 看 这个视频 了解更多.

To protect our crews during maintenance work, we sometimes need to turn off power as a safety precaution. If we need to turn off power in your area for scheduled maintenance work, we’ll let you know in advance (typically at least two days’ not冰) 和 update you if anything changes. A scheduled maintenance outage might not begin or end at the precise times indicated in your not冰. Power might also be turned on 和 off more than once during the outage period.

我们监控和平衡网格

能源是一项实时业务. 当你拨动开关时, 进入你家里的能量, farm or business was generated just a fraction of a second ago at a power plant that might be hundreds of miles away. We work hard to keep that system of supply 和 dem和 in precise balance around the clock.

See how we invest in the grid to ensure safe, reliable, affordable energy as we pursue 我们的目标 到2045年实现100%清洁能源.
