From sheep in the Pacific Northwest to goats in New York, we're partnering with farmers and our wildlife friends to develop environmentally-friendly, sustainable methods for vegetation management on our #solar farms and near transmission lines. And these wonderful animals are whole lot cuter than gas-powered mowers. 🐑🐐 😉 Learn more about sheep in the PNW: https://lnkd.in/emS2D3DE Learn more about goats in Rochester, NY: https://lnkd.in/eKFMX6mW

We’re pioneering the future of #energy reliability with a cutting-edge data #analytics initiative for proactive tree maintenance. 🌳⚡ This innovative approach, currently being piloted at New York State Electric & Gas and Rochester Gas & Electric, is a game-changer in enhancing grid resiliency. By analyzing data on potential impact, historical reliability, and risk, we’re not just reacting to outages but preventing them. The results? More dead trees that are threatening our grid being removed in a month than ever before, and at a lower cost. This is what it means to lead in the sustainable energy sector – proactive, efficient, and always customer-focused. 📈 Learn more: https://ow.ly/O5iB50T3aa5
