Did you know: Why are my lights flickering?

Sometimes you may notice your lights blink for just a moment. While this can be surprising, it’s usually a sign that our system is working exactly as it should.

Here’s why it happens:

• Tree branches or debris may briefly touch a power line. When this occurs, our equipment momentarily shuts off the power to clear the obstruction safely. This quick action helps prevent a longer outage.
• Advanced grid equipment is protecting your service. Our system is designed to fix many issues behind the scenes. These momentary interruptions help keep power flowing and avoid extended outages.

These brief flickers usually last only a few seconds and are part of the system operating safely and reliably. If you notice flickering happening often or for longer periods, please let us know so we can take a closer look. Learn more.
