What happened
Nashville Electric Service is currently behind its vegetation management schedule. Crews completed 89 miles of tree trimming through August, compared to the 2,258 miles the utility had targeted for that point in the fiscal year. The utility has approved additional tree-trimming contracts totaling up to $15 million to speed up the work ahead of winter.

Why it matters
The utility is accelerating tree trimming efforts to improve system reliability, which was challenged during a previous winter storm that caused widespread outages. The approval of additional contracts allows the utility to begin trimming work sooner as it prepares for severe weather.
