Overemphasis on IEEE reliability metrics diminishes public safety and fire protection efforts.

Plant and animal communities respond well to integrated vegetation management practices on utility rights-of-way.

San Diego Gas & Electric deploys a GIS-based mobile vegetation management system to minimize outages and maximize customer satisfaction.
