The company has received the National Tree Line USA Award for quality tree care for 12 consecutive years. The company’s tree-trimming crews follow International Society of Arboriculture standards to maintain the health of trees. That’s why Detroit Edison employs more than 500 professional tree trimmers to maintain the estimated 3.5 million trees in its service territory. Tree interference is responsible for about two-thirds of the power outages that occur during storms. “By maintaining a 10-foot clearance between tree branches and our power lines, we can significantly reduce tree-related power outages.” “We trim trees for two very important reasons ? to ensure our customers have dependable electric service and to prevent safety hazards,” said Vince Dow, DTE Energy vice president of Distribution Operations. DEARBORN HEIGHTS/DETROIT – Detroit Edison line-clearance crews will be working in 44 southeast Michigan communities in July and August, continuing their year-round effort to maintain service reliability by keeping trees and branches away from power lines.
