Ensuring Your Dependable Power

You will oftentimes see our lineworkers and/or contractors in your neighborhood. Our mission is to provide you safe, reliable, affordable, and efficient energy solutions with exceptional service. To do so, we maintain our electrical system in a variety of ways.

Did you know, we have over 4,000 miles of power lines? Vegetation management programs, system inspections, and construction projects are all important aspects of maintaining our electric grid to provide you the power you can depend on.

We will only operate in our rights-of-way, depending on accessibility. If we do not have proper access, we will work with our members to gain access.

Read below to learn where we’re working in your neighborhood. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Broadband Fiber Installation

Crews are currently working in the Bellvue, Livermore, Red Feather Lakes, and Rustic areas.

As part of our Grid Communication Improvement Project, we use a contractor, MasTec, to install fiber-optic cable on our existing overhead power lines and into our existing underground electric corridors. You may see bucket trucks and crews with boring equipment in your area as we work on this project throughout our entire service territory.
