SAFETY TIP: Power lines near trees can pose serious risks to you and those around you. Trees can conduct electricity, and trimming branches tangled in power lines can result in severe injury. Before pruning trees or shrubs, always inspect the area for hidden wires. Never attempt to trim trees near power lines - if they’re within 10 feet, contact a licensed arborist and notify El Paso Electric for assistance. If you see sparking, arcing, or branches entangled in power lines, call EPE immediately.

Celebrating Engineers Week: Innovation and Mentorship in Action

From February 16-22, we joined in celebrating Engineers Week, honoring the expertise and dedication of those who keep our energy systems running strong. Our engineers took part in special proclamations with the city councils of El Paso and Las Cruces, as well as both county commissioners courts, reinforcing the impact of engineering on our region. Beyond these recognitions, they also engaged with future engineers through student presentations and mentorship programs at UTEP and NMSU, sharing their knowledge and inspiring the next generation.

We’re proud of their efforts to advance innovation and education in our region!
