SRP, City Of Phoenix To Begin Removing Trees That Threaten Overhead Power Lines
March 12, 2024
In an effort to increase power reliability and reduce potential safety risks, SRP and the City of Phoenix are scheduled to begin removing trees growing too close to power lines. For every tree removed, three more trees will be planted as part of SRP’s Right Tree, Right Place program. The program plays an important role in preventing potential power outages ahead of the upcoming monsoon season and supports the goals of mitigating extreme heat by increasing the city’s tree canopy.
This spring, 67 trees will be removed through the program and 201 new trees will be planted within the City of Phoenix, with 150 of these trees planted in routes to public transportation.
