ERIE, Pa., April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Penelec, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), continues to conduct tree trimming work in communities across its Pennsylvania service areas as part of its ongoing efforts to help enhance electric service reliability.
Maintaining proper clearances around electrical equipment can help reduce the frequency and duration of tree-related power outages, especially those associated with severe weather such as spring and summer thunderstorms.
Since the beginning of the year, tree contractors have trimmed along about 1,000 miles of distribution and transmission lines in the Penelec area as part of the company s $39.4 million vegetation management program for 2021. Penelec s program remains on track to complete an additional 3,200 miles of work by year end.

Winter 2020-21 brought the “largest irruption of evening grosbeaks in over 20 years, a massive movement out of the boreal forest,” according to David Yeany II, avian ecologist with the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
That declaration during a recent WPC webinar on its developing study of evening grosbeaks will come as confirmation to backyard birders in many spots across Pennsylvania. They’ve seen flocks of the bright yellow birds with the outsized beaks at their backyard feeders in the past several weeks, often for the first time.
