Why can trees cause outages?
Trees need to be kept a safe distance away from power lines and other electricity network equipment because:
- trees and vegetation coming into contact with power lines can cause power outages, not just for the tree owners but also the wider community.
- children who climb trees close to power lines are at risk of serious injury or death
- in severe weather conditions, vegetation can become electrically “live” and may electrocute anyone who comes into contact with it.
