Why is the tree near the line still in place when other trees were removed?

We only request that our contractor remove or trim trees that are dead, dangerous, or in our ROWs. Healthy trees may be trimmed but are unlikely to be removed if they do not threaten our infrastructure.

Our efforts have led to trimming 2,520 trees and removing 3,956 trees in our ROWs since July 2023. Through consistent vegetation management, WEC plays a pivotal role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and sustainability of the electric grid for our members and communities.
