You’ve never seen a power company’s maintenance and emergency repair budget :)

 

But when you figure in secondary costs such as tearing down and disposing of power poles, tearing up people’s driveways, getting permits of city limits work, buying digging equipment, buying new line, replacing the entire service fleet. It’s really not worth the added cost.

 

how much money do they lose when Harris and Galveston county are without power for a month. Thats a lot of homes without the meter wheel turning…
