To ensure we can deliver power safely and reliably to our customers, our vegetation contractors remove trees and other vegetation that are growing too close to power lines, as trees in our lines can (and often do) cause power outages.

In 2020 we launched our Replant for Tomorrow initiative to balance out this removal of trees from around our network.

Replant for Tomorrow sees us team up with different organisations from around our network to plant more native trees in the communities we work in.

We’re proud to support these community initiatives and to be providing trees for current and future generations living and visiting these regions.
