Smart technology is helping us respond faster than ever before.
This device, called a TripSaver, helps reduce the impact of temporary power interruptions caused by things like tree branches, lightning, or other momentary faults. In many cases, it can automatically restore power within seconds without requiring a crew to respond. It's one of the many technologies SWEPCO is deploying across our system to keep power flowing and improve reliability across our system.
Technology can't stop every outage, but it helps us restore power faster while remaining safe and efficient when outages happen.
