Emergency Repair Service for Transmission and Distribution Lines (Standby)

High winds, ice storms and thunderstorms are responsible for most unplanned power outages. Depending on the severity of the damage to the transmission and distribution system, power outages can last a few minutes or a few days.

Utility companies want to begin emergency storm damage repair as soon as the weather conditions will safely allow. Operators know even a short disruption in service can be an inconvenience to customers. Longer disruptions can prove dangerous if customers are left without a way to heat or cool their homes. In addition to lost revenue, utility companies can be hit with penalties for supply interruptions. In some areas, industry regulators impose fines based on the number of outages and the length of the disruption.

This is why emergency repair services for transmission and distribution lines are so important.

Storm response contractors work with the utility company’s outage management plan. Working methodically ensures that power is restored as efficiently as possible. The utilities’ overarching goal is to prioritize areas that will return service to as many customers as possible.
