   Project Timeline

  Key Points

  • Trees are part of the natural beauty of the Carolinas, but trees and other vegetation are also one of the leading causes of outages in the Southeast. We must constantly work to balance aesthetic concerns with our responsibility to provide a reliable electric system for the 1.5 million households and businesses that depend on us.
  • Progress Energy has obtained easements and agreements with local communities and property owners that allow it to build and maintain its power lines. This right includes managing vegetation, including trees that pose a threat to the reliability of the electric system (on or outside the easement).
  • Maintaining trees and vegetation along distribution and transmission rights of way helps reduce outages and enhances safety for customers, as well as Progress Energy employees and contractors.
  • Customers with questions or concerns about right-of-way or vegetation maintenance can contact a Progress Energy customer service representative by calling 1.800.452.2777.
