You may see helicopters working near some power lines in and around Maple Grove in the next few weeks. Xcel Energy is installing new 'shield wire' on top of some transmission lines that will help protect against lightning strikes, as well as performing some other maintenance.
Please keep clear of the workers and helicopters as they perform maintenance that will help keep our electric system reliable.
If there are any questions, please contact Anna Kadrie at 612-337-2168.
