Rocky Mountain Power is taking steps to reduce wildfire risks by expanding our weather monitoring abilities, actively managing vegetation and strengthening our system.

The safety of our customers and communities is our top priority. Rocky Mountain Power may de-energize power lines as a preventative measure during periods of the greatest wildfire risk anywhere across our service area.

– Enhanced Safety Settings:
These settings are used with devices that de-energize lines when a fault is detected, reducing the chance of a potential fire ignition.

– Public Safety Power Shutoff:
The decision to implement a Public Safety Power Shutoff is based on extreme weather and area conditions, including high wind speeds, low humidity and critically dry fuels.

– Encroachment Strategy/Emergency De-energization:
When an active wildfire moves close enough to threaten burning into the area of our lines or equipment, we may complete an emergency de-energization of our power lines.Our encroachment strategy refers to how we use emergency de-energization to reduce catastrophic wildfire risk.
