Vegetation Management

East Tennessee is home to amazing views and trees make up the vast majority of the landscape.

That's why KUB puts so much care and effort into the Vegetation Management Program. Since more than 50 percent of power outages are vegetation-related, pruning is an essential part of excellent reliability.

KUB maintains more than 5,000 miles of electric line and prunes along approximately 1,000 miles of that line every year.

KUB is a certified Arbor Day Foundation Tree Line Utility and prunes according to the foundation's high-quality standards.
