Electrical Line Upgrades
Kent Power is the BLP’s contractor performing an electrical line upgrade project on the 168th Avenue, Comstock, and Robbins Road area which can be viewed in the map below. This project includes building two new circuits to feed the southeast section of the BLP service territory. This will increase reliability and redundancy in the Robbins Road, Mercury Drive, and Industrial Park areas of our distribution system. The project will require new poles, wires, and services and may require temporary power outages to facilitate this work.
In-house BLP line crews are still performing regular maintenance on our system and may be working on or around your property. This maintenance work includes replacing poles, wires, and services and may require temporary power outages to facilitate this work.
Tree Trimming Project
Electric service reliability and safety require clearance between trees and distribution lines to be consistently maintained in the utility right-of-way. This year, the Grand Haven Board of Light & Power contracted with Get-R-Cut to trim the utility right-of-way in four different areas, starting on Robbins Road, Van Wagner Road, Cove, and Mercury Drive. Proper clearance may require crews to trim or remove trees on or around your property. When trimming is sufficient to maintain proper clearance, the image to the right shows the four most common ways the GHBLP trims. When trimming is insufficient to maintain proper clearance, tree removal will be necessary. Below are maps of the sections planned for this year’s tree clearance project:
