Right-of-Way (ROW)

Our Forestry Trimming Program helps balance the need for safe, reliable service by keeping our right-of-ways clear of trees and overgrown vegetation with respect for the natural environment.

  • Goals of the program
    • Provide electric power to members safely
    • Protect the electric system and reduce power outages
    • Minimize negative impacts on the environment
    • Comply with federal, state, and local regulations
    • Work safely and efficiently
    • Foster positive working relationships with our communities
  • Project List:
    • The following projects are tentatively scheduled for 2026. Please use caution if near these areas. Clearing involves the mechanical and manual cutting, trimming and mowing of vegetation. Herbicide applications are used to control the growth of unwanted plants. We thank you for your cooperation while we continue to maintain our electric system.
    • Only GEC Forestry Trimmers are approved to work on your property. Any other person or company representative is not an authorized representative of the Cooperative. Please contact your local authorities if you suspect suspicious behavior.
