Preparing for Reliability
Recorded on

We were in the studio with John Arp, Operations Manager of the Western Region for REC to continue our conversation about Rappahannock Electric Cooperative’s commitment to reliability. Today we talked about year-round practices to prevent outages, a bit more about storm prep, and John answered a few questions like why power lines aren’t all underground and what causes power blips.
