October 2025 Update

OPPD and our contractor, Hughes Tree Service, has begun clearing trees and brush from below or near the planned transmission lines (often called the clear zone) along Segment one. We anticipate that the tree-clearing process will take a few weeks. Once the clear zone is free of trees and brush, OPPD will move toward the construction phase.

Safety is a priority for OPPD. We kindly ask the public to be aware of activities happening in relation to these efforts. Please do not enter active worksites and allow plenty of space for equipment to maneuver so we can avoid damage. Landowners should be aware of and exercise caution when working around new pole structures. Allow plenty of space to maneuver around equipment and structures so that you can avoid damage to OPPD structures and personal equipment.
