SWEPCO recently completed reliability improvements in your area — including vegetation management, which means trimming trees near power lines to
prevent outages.
This work helps protect your service from storms and other risks and keeps our infrastructure strong. Even if you didn’t see crews near your home, they may have been working miles away along the same circuit. Every customer served by that line benefits from the trimming and reliability work we performed.
Here’s What You Should Know:
Tree trimming is done — cleanup is coming. Crews will remove debris in the coming weeks.
We follow expert guidelines. Our foresters use standards from the American National Standards Institute and the International Society of Arboriculture.
Trimming helps keep a safe distance (10–15 feet) between trees and power lines — a key part of keeping your lights on.
We prioritize trees that pose the biggest risk and continue to monitor others. If you have concerns, we’re here to help.
Thanks for trusting SWEPCO. We’re committed to keeping your power reliable.
