Overview

What did PEF see in the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons

What did the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons reveal about PEF’s system and what have we done in response

What outage mitigation options may warrant additional study

Damage Assessment

Transmission Higher voltage performed better than lower Concrete & steel performed better than wood

Substations No significant damage within footprint Outages primarily due to trees on connecting

lines Distribution

Tree-related damage prevalent Codes / standards not a significant issue

Potential Mitigation Approach

Potential Outage Mitigation Options

Evaluate migration away from wood transmission poles

Further review and, if feasible, facilitate targeted underground conversion

Evaluate ways to facilitate vegetation management

Concluding Thoughts

It makes sense to review our assumptions in light of 2004 and 2005 hurricanes

Take time to be sure changes truly are for the better Recognize that there is no silver bullet and that all

solutions come with a cost PEF will continue to be active in evaluating

alternatives that work for Florida
