AEP Ohio is committed to improving reliability in Northwest Columbus. Through inspections and new installations, our crews have taken many steps to ensure fewer power outages and faster restoration times when they do happen. Watch the video below and read on to learn more.
By the Numbers
This year alone in Northwest Columbus, our crews have:
- Inspected more than 170 miles of electric lines.
- Put up 80 new electric poles.
- Installed almost 400 new pieces of electrical equipment like:
- Cutouts, which disconnect faulty or overloaded lines to protect other equipment.
- Reclosers, which can restore power after temporary interruption.
- Crossarms, which help support wires on poles.
- Continued forestry work to trim and remove trees that are at risk of causing outages.
Continuing Efforts
These improvements are in addition to our ongoing work to boost reliability. Whether through drones to streamline our power line inspections or our preparation for storms, we’re moving toward a more reliable energy future.
