Economics of Utility Lateral Trimming    (View PDF)

Richard A. Johnstone

Abstract: The implementation of lateral trimming, proper crew scheduling, tree removal and/or replacement and growth regulator injections were proposed in 1982 as techniques necessary for a utility manager to stretch available funds in order to maintain a reliable electric system. Expectations were exceeded at Delmarva Power as these techniques allowed the budget to be reduced while reliability was improved.
