ComEd will be trimming trees near electric lines this spring, predominantly along Kirk Road and the Union Pacific-West Railway tracks in Geneva.

Trimming operations are scheduled to begin in mid-May, weather permitting, according to ComEd.

While the City of Geneva owns and operates its own electric utility, ComEd power lines feed City substations. Geneva interconnects with ComEd to allow the City to receive energy purchased from its regional service transmission provider, PJM.

ComEd states its vegetation management program helps ensure electrical reliability since tree branch contact with power lines is a leading cause of outages.

ComEd will notify affected residents about tree trimming taking place in their neighborhood. Visit the ComEd tree trimming web page for a project map and more information.
