The effective management of vegetation on transmission and distribution corridors is essential to the reliable supply of electricity and to ensure public and worker safety. Vegetation programs must also comply with new and emerging regulations, meet public and landowner expectations and consider environmental issues. Managing vegetation can range from pruning or removing individual trees to encouraging the establishment of low growing compatible plant communities on a right-of-way. Furthermore, it involves responding to public, First Nations, Government and landowner requests and concerns, while still achieving control that will comply with NERC and other regulations in a cost effective manner. These are a few of the aspects needed to develop a comprehensive and effective vegetation management program.
The Vegetation Management Program focuses on many of the areas noted above with an emphasis on asset management and program planning, as opposed to specific work specifications required for fieldwork. It is believed that these areas are adequately addressed through other organizations such as utility arborist associations. It is anticipated that this list will develop and evolve over time.
