Why do you need to prune so much?

Our standards are based on several factors:

  • The minimum safe working distance for a tree worker
  • How much trees sway in high winds
  • The amount of ice on a tree before it touches a power line
  • The ability of limbs to break and fall on lines
  • The varying growth and regrowth rates of different species of trees

South Central Power’s goal is to deliver safe and dependable service to our service territory.
