At AES Ohio, power restoration is a finely tuned operation that is vital to community well-being. I admire the work of our teams and appreciate the efforts that bring the lights back on. When outages occur, our top priority is to restore power safely and efficiently. The process starts days before the storm with our weather models and staffing plans. Each week, one of our four rotating storm teams has responsibility as first responders during rough weather. After the storm, we begin by addressing emergencies like downed lines and restoring power to impacted critical services, such as hospitals, police and fire. These areas are our top priority to ensure essential services continue safely. After securing critical sites, we focus on restoring transmission assets and power to the largest groups of customers. For example, repairing a main line from a substation can restore power to hundreds of homes and businesses. In cases where damage is more localized, our teams work diligently to fix specific sites. Like most electric companies, AES Ohio continually trains for emergencies and belongs to regional mutual assistance groups. Mutual assistance allows us to temporarily increase our workforce by requesting crews to help respond to major outage events. Being a member of these groups allows us to quickly mobilize resources to restore power, minimize downtime, and efficiently restore service to affected customers. Regardless of where the outage occurs, our online outage map is updated round the clock, so our customers have visibility to the outage scope and estimated restoration time. Of course, our commitment to our community extends beyond just restoring power. It's about ensuring safety and community support, 24/7. Our people are here, working behind the scenes, prepared to respond swiftly and effectively, ensuring that when the lights go out, they won't be out for long. I invite our community to learn more about our power restoration process at https://lnkd.in/g38qEgP8. #AESOhio #NeighborOfChoice #PartnerInEnergy
