Overgrown vegetation like trees, hedges, vines and plants near power lines can cause power outages, safety issues and even fires. As a property owner, it is your responsibility to keep vegetation clear of power lines to protect your home and community. Did you know? Recent regulation updates now require greater distance between trees and power lines. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gW4qxK4a Take a moment to check your property and help keep power flowing safely. If your trees are too close to power lines, contact your local arborist for cutting or trimming. They will get in touch with us before starting to ensure it is done safely. If we contact you about trees on your property, cutting or trimming them as soon as possible helps reduce power outages and keeps everyone safe. #KeepTreesClearofPowerLines #StaySafeAroundElectricity #PoweringThrivingRegions

With warmer weather already here this summer, it is important to keep trees clear of power lines. Overgrown trees and vegetation can cause power outages, safety issues and even fires. Recent updates to safety regulations have increased the minimum safe distances between trees and power lines. Take a moment to check your property to help keep power flowing to your home and community. Here is how you can help: - Plant wisely: Avoid planting near power lines or choose the right species. Check our planting guide on our website. - Check your property: Regularly look for overgrown vegetation. Keep it at least four metres clear of power lines. - Call in the experts: Need trimming or cutting done on your property? Contact your local arborist - they will work with us to make sure it is done safely. - Report problem trees: Spot a tree touching power lines somewhere else? Let us know! - Know your responsibilities: Property owners must keep trees clear of power lines and underground cables. Failing to do so could result in costs or fines. “We love trees at Unison, but we need your help to manage their growth near power lines. By working together, we can reduce the number of unplanned power outages and safety incidents," says Unison General Manager Network and Operations, Gaganpreet Chadha.

It was great to host Transpower New Zealand’s Board and Executive teams in Hawke’s Bay recently, where we took the opportunity to visit some of the key sites powering our region. The group visited Transpower’s Redclyffe substation where they saw firsthand the scale of damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle and the remedial work undertaken so far, and together viewed the first stage of progress of the permanent rebuild on the way to a more resilient energy future. The group also visited our award-winning Windsor switchroom and Camberley Substation rebuild where we shared learnings on sustainable, cost-effective approaches to infrastructure projects. It was a good chance to celebrate the mahi done so far, while solidifying sector partnerships as we work together to deliver more resilient networks for energy consumers.
