Austin Energy's tree trimming cycle requires work planning along more than 2,400 miles of power lines. Each year, hundreds of miles of Austin Energy power lines are scheduled for tree trimming or tree removal on 9,000 to 12,000 properties a year. Austin Energy prepares year-round for extreme weather, including the winter months. Managing trees and other vegetation near energized power lines maintains public safety.
