Streetlight Conversion
In partnership with local Cities, Towns and Villages, OPPD began converting existing OPPD fixtures to LED technology. This upgrade not only reduces the power consumed by street lighting by almost 50%, it also improves driver and pedestrian safety, lasts 4 times as long as the existing fixtures, and reduces maintenance costs. OPPD initiated this project in February of 2019 with a 5-year completion window. With the help of our subcontractor, Superior Lighting, 50.3% of OPPD's system has been converted.

Tree Trimming

Tree limbs that grow too close to - or fall down on - electrical lines can cause power outages and create a safety hazard. As part of our commitment to provide safe, reliable energy, OPPD contracts with Asplundh and Wright for tree-trimming. Both of these companies' crews work year-round to maintain safe clearances between trees and power lines. The terms of our service regulations allow OPPD and its contractors to access customers' property to trim trees and maintain lines to ensure safety and reliability.
