It only takes one careless moment for tragedy to strike. Electricity constantly seeks a path to ground. A tall piece of machinery, a metal ladder, a long-reach pruner, a tree, or—worst of all—a human body that touches both an energized wire and the ground will complete the circuit with devastating results.
It is crucial that you look before you lift and call before you dig. Your board and employees make safety our top priority. We have specific policies and practices in place to ensure every employee works safely every day. We also conduct training and job briefings to ensure all aspects of safety are addressed. We participate in national programs such as Commitment to Zero to incorporate best practices.
Your safety is equally important. To prevent yourself or a loved one from becoming a victim of an electrical accident, follow these safety tips:. Wells Rural Electric Cooperative WREC has contracted with a professional tree-trimming service, and their crews could be working in your area.
Under our contract, they are limited to trimming trees that pose a safety hazard. This is not an endorsement, but if you have additional work you want done, please call them for a quote rather than entering the work zone where falling branches could strike you.
Remember, their quote is from an independent contractor. WREC does not set their rates and will not bill you or pay for any services you choose. Please see additional information about the benefits of tree trimming by visiting our Preventative Maintenance Program post. Sadly, this mess was predicted, but the only people who listened live in Nevada. During the battle over ballot Question 3 in , proponents held Texas up as a model of the future of electricity for Nevada.
Those of us who opposed Question 3 believed Texas was a time bomb. To be fair, an open energy market like Texas can, and did, deliver competitive prices. Open markets also can, and did, deliver incredible price spikes and rolling blackouts. Temperatures in Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio fell below temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, triggering a series of compounding problems. First, to keep people warm, heating systems ran much longer than usual and activated emergency electric resistance heating coils.
Some homes and businesses generally heated with natural gas also switched to electricity when natural gas supplies stopped flowing. Total electricity demand for the state was forecast at 58, megawatts MW. Actual demand soared to 70, MW. To make matters worse, not only did demand go through the roof, but supply fell through the floor when freezing temperatures locked up wind turbines and cloud cover limited solar generation. Shortages of natural gas also sidelined backup generation.
Grid operators were left with no choice but to implement rolling blackouts to prevent the entire statewide grid from collapsing. The law of supply and demand is as unforgiving as the laws of physics. Those contracts typically increase a few percent in October of odd-numbered years but prevent dramatic price hikes. Damage caused by the extreme cold weather quickly became a financial disaster.
Several electric utilities have declared bankruptcy, and more are likely to follow. Insurance companies are likely to take a big hit as well. I have tremendous sympathy for consumers in Texas. They relied on the open market to provide affordable electricity. Unfortunately, there was no way for utilities to overcome decades of energy policy that hampered long-term investment in critical baseload generation.
Thankfully, voters in Nevada listened to utility experts, and our allies, and wisely voted no on Question 3. Manager's Message January 1, Clay R. Fitch Chief Executive Officer.
