Planting the right tree in the right place helps avoid power outages and reduce energy costs
As the tree planting and
landscaping season gets under way, DTE Energy subsidiary Detroit Edison is encouraging customers to plant trees that will not grow into and inter- fere with power lines and un- derground transformers.
Planting the right trees or
shrubs in the right spot may prevent the need for trimming or possible removal in the future.
Planting in the proper loca-
tion also may help reduce the possibility of storm-related power outages.
“Detroit Edison each year
trims thousands of trees to reduce the potential for power outages and to help ensure safe and reliable electrical ser- vice,” said Vince Dow, DTE Energy vice president of Dis- tribution Operations.
“Our customers can help
prevent tree-related power outages as well, by planting trees where they won’t eventu- ally grow into power lines or by planting varieties that don’t reach power-line height.”
Tree interference is respon-
sible for about two-thirds of the power outages that occur during storms. Storm-related outages can happen when high winds, rain and lightning damage trees and branches, causing them to fall into power lines.
“Tree purchases and land-
scaping are long-term invest- ments,” Dow said.
“Planning for overhead and
underground utility clearanc- es can help customers protect their investments for years to come.”
Planting for purpose of saving energy
Because trees branch out,
as well as up, the shape and spread of the tree needs to be considered. A local nursery can provide information on selecting the best tree to fit a yard.
In many newer subdivisions
and commercial areas, power lines may be located under- ground. Transformer cabinets for underground utilities re- quire periodic maintenance.
An eight-foot clearance is
required from the front of the transformer and a two-foot clearance is needed around the back and sides. Customers should keep these distances in mind when planning land- scaping.
Trees and bushes that ob-
struct the transformer cabi- nets will be removed if neces- sary to perform maintenance.
Well-planned landscaping
and tree planting can help reduce home energy costs.
Place trees that lose their
leaves in the fall on the south and west sides of the house to provide shade, which may lower air conditioning costs.
Thousands of children in Michigan’s foster care system need loving, permanent homes.
So consider becoming a foster or adoptive parent.
Because kids in foster care don’t need perfection. They need you.

Evergreen trees planted
on the north and west sides protect against winter winds, which can help reduce heating costs.
For more information about
planting the right tree in the right place for appropriate utility clearance and energy savings, including a detailed listing of trees suitable for Southeastern Michigan, visit
dteenergy.com and search for “tree planting guide.” It will provide all of the information
you will need.
Remove dead or dying ash trees Dead and dying ash trees
are a widespread problem due to the emerald ash borer, an insect that has invaded ash trees in several states.
As a result of this infesta-
tion, ash trees, which may grow to heights of 60 feet, have become structurally unstable
and may fall at any time, espe- cially during a storm.
Because Detroit Edison is
seeing more and more inci- dents in which ash trees are falling and damaging power lines, the company is encour- aging people to remove these trees from their property.
Although there is an ex-
pense involved with the tree removal, the potential for injury or death and damage to homes, vehicles or property is far worse.
