One thought on “Jim Shella: Restoring power is no easy task. I know.

  1. I have to wonder that as the frequency of weather events seems to be increasing. we keep rushing out there and putting things back exactly like they were.

    I know people hate aggressive tree trimming, but it’s those same trees that cause most of the problems. It’s a trade off between trees and reliable power, but it doen’t have to be. I remember living in England when they had country wide gale force winds over the course of several hours. We are talking about streight line winds gusting to 60-70 miles an hour. There were NO widespread power outages.

    In England most of the utilities were underground, out of sight and away from harm from the wind. It costs more, but the reilibility is much higher.

    I used to work for IPL and I know that they take their reliability numbers seriously. To keep those numbers manageable, trees have to be trimmed aggressively, but maybe there’s another way?
