At Eversource, we are dedicated to delivering reliable energy and providing excellent customer service. Our comprehensive vegetation management program includes year-round tree work to protect the electric system. Trees are the number one cause of outages during storms in Connecticut.
Statewide, our data shows a continued need for regular tree maintenance in the face of drought, tree disease and stronger storms. Each year, we complete tree work along 4,000 miles of overhead electric distribution
lines around the state. Included in this mailing is a map of the town with the roads with planned work highlighted. Planned tree work in your town is estimated to begin in February.
Danny Rodriguez, an Eversource Arborist, will be the point of contact for all aspects of the work in your community. Danny Rodriguez can be reached at 860 496-5222.
The enclosed Tree Reliability Scorecard provides a visual representation of vegetation management in your community.
It includes:
An overview of our 2023 tree work plan
The number of blocked roads caused by trees during storms
The number of customers who refused our proposed tree work
The impact of tree reliability on customers
We believe these enhanced communications make it easier than ever to understand how thoughtful tree work strengthens the grid. In the coming weeks, our expert Arborists plan to work closely with community leaders and residents to discuss plans and seek permission before tree work begins.
Please contact me at 860-665-6103 for any questions regarding Eversource’s vegetation management program.
Sincerely,
Sean Redding, Eversource Manager of Vegetation Management
