Vegetation Management

Transmission and distribution lines are needed to provide you with reliable electric service. They are critical to our nation’s security and economic health.

To safeguard the reliability of our electric transmission and distribution system, PPL Electric Utilities has developed a comprehensive program to manage vegetation around power lines. Keeping trees and other vegetation away from high-voltage lines is very important. If these lines touch trees, there can be short-circuits and widespread power outages.
