Did you know that our grid serves more than 14 million people across our 50,000 square-mile area? To improve power reliability for today and for many years to come, we're strengthening our electricity distribution grid. The multiyear, multibillion-dollar investment plan includes upgrades to make power more dependable, safer, and cleaner, along with new technologies that enable us to integrate more clean energy.
We understand that our improvement activities may be an inconvenience, and we thank you for your patience while we’re at work in your community.
We track and monitor outages across our service territory, and measure our “system reliability” from this data.
