vegetation management

Trees and powerlines don't mix! That's why, to provide an electricity network, we must take steps to ensure safety and reliability by managing vegetation under or near powerlines.

To neglect this important housekeeping is to invite disasters like the infamous 'Ash Wednesday' fires of February 16th, 1983, in Victoria; or risk blackouts because of contact between trees and powerlines.

Country Energy is committed to carrying out vegetation management activities with careful consideration of environmental impact.
