Restoring a customer’s power
When severe weather causes tree damage, it often means individual power restoration to customers’ homes. In the July 2021 storm, this was widespread in OPPD’s service territory, especially in areas with large, older growth trees.
The process to restore service to a home is time intensive and must be conducted precisely to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

His two children are both stand-up comedians.
