Trees near power lines
Most power outages are caused by trees
To avoid outages caused by trees growing into power lines, choose and plant trees wisely. Because Minnesota Power Company has developed a helpful online reference guide called The Right Tree Handbook - Tree selections for planting under and near power lines and other locations, we asked them if we could share it with our customers. Trees are an investment of time and money. Use this excellent handbook to make the most of your investment.
We're dedicated to bringing our customers reliable and efficient electrical service. Vegetation management is just one of the ways this is accomplished. If trees on your property are growing into power lines, and it appears that the trees must be trimmed, please contact Otter Tail Power Company by email or call 800-257-4044 for customer service.
