Our core reliability program is designed to better protect our delivery system against the forces of nature. This three-year effort includes substantial underground cabling in areas where undergrounding is feasible, improves reliability, and makes economic sense. Communities across the UE service area will benefit from this effort. View projects by county.
The project planning, design, and construction represent a major collaborative effort between UE, county and municipal governments, the region’s contracting industry and UE customers. UE also has identified some “must-do” undergrounding projects that supersede the local government engagement process. In all cases, the upgrades will be designed to improve reliability vs. the cosmetic appearance of the system.
The undergrounding projects could include high- or low-voltage overhead lines and may include service conductors physically attached to customer residences and/or businesses. In some cases, small portions of overhead circuitry may be reconstructed or relocated before they are placed underground.
