REC works hard every day to provide its members with safe, reliable electricity. REC regularly plans projects to upgrade power lines. Upgrades can more than double the capacity compared with the old lines and improve service reliability. In addition, these upgrades give crews the opportunity to restore service through load transfers, something that's not possible without replacing lines.

Managing trees, maintaining reliability and improving natural habitat.

SMART GRID
