Description
The counties in the project area face economic distress due to decreasing populations, aging infrastructure, energy burdens, and limited health, education, and employment opportunities. Access to reliable, affordable, and resilient energy is critical to overcoming many of these challenges. The existing poles have been damaged due to the impacts of wildlife and other natural hazards. These upgrades aim to reduce outages, improve infrastructure durability and longevity, and maximize maintenance efficiency and safety. The project also seeks to help to mitigate rate increases for disadvantaged communities.
