As hurricane season begins, Dominion Energy Virginia continues its year-round storm preparation to strengthen the grid, reduce power outages and shorten restoration times.
The company’s storm preparation work includes regularly trimming trees near power lines, burying lines in the most outage-prone areas, and replacing older utility poles to better withstand major storms. Fallen trees and limbs are the leading cause of storm-related power outages, so regular preparation helps reduce damage and prevent outages.
