POTENTIAL CAUSES
With all the benefits that electricity provides, it’s an unfortunate fact of life that the power does, on occasion, go out. There are a number of reasons an outage may occur, such as:
- Snow and ice collecting on power lines
- Winds blowing lines and damaging equipment
- Vehicles striking a pole
- People digging into underground lines
- Animals coming in contact with equipment
- Lightning strikes on lines or equipment
- Tree limbs coming in contact with lines and equipment
- Occasionally equipment simply fails
