All hands remain on deck as restoration efforts continue, with 1,400 personnel working to restore power to our members. As of 1:00 PM, fewer than 18,000 members remain without power.
Many of the remaining outages involve broken poles and fallen trees that have brought down power lines, making repairs more complex and time-consuming.
In this update, CHELCO Right-of-Way Coordinator Jesse Nolin explains how trees and other vegetation can impact restoration efforts and why routine tree trimming is an important part of CHELCO’s strategy to maintain a reliable electric system.
