AEP Ohio is constantly working to improve reliability by minimizing the number and length of outages, and the number of customers affected by each outage.
Of course, outages occur for a variety of reasons, including lightning, ice storms and animals. But one of the most common causes of power outages is tree limbs falling across power lines. Just one tree limb can knock out electric service to dozens of families up to several miles away. In fact, a single tree initiated a power outage in 2003 for over 50 million Americans and Canadians from the Midwest to the East Coast.
That’s why AEP Ohio has a comprehensive program to manage trees and brush that grow around power lines – and it has been shown to be effective at improving service reliability.
