Customer Services Project Round Up Project Round Up helps customers in our community by providing bill payment assistance in times of hardship. Collapse Project Round Up Giving back to our community is a very important part of SCES’s business philosophy, and we believe that our customers share this ideal. Project Round Up is one of the easiest ways we can all help members of our community, and it costs less than a dollar a month. Project Round Up helps customers in our community by providing bill payment assistance in times of hardship. SCES customers contribute to the program by volunteering to have their monthly electric bills rounded up to the next whole dollar. Individual contributions never amount to more than 99 cents each month. The total would not exceed $11.88 a year. Put this small change together and it makes a lot of difference to our community. Effective March 1, 2020, all SCES customers will be automatically enrolled in Project Round Up. You may opt out at any time by calling SCES at (865) 453-2887.

Collapse Vegetation Management SCES is dedicated to providing safe and reliable electric service to our customers. The majority of power outages that occur are due to tree and other vegetation interference. SCES trims trees for two very important reasons: To maintain safety of persons and property around high-voltage power lines; To ensure that our customers have reliable electric service. SCES trims trees at 10-foot minimum clearances from high-voltage distribution power lines on 3-year circuit rotations and 25-foot minimum clearances from transmission lines on 5-year trim rotations utilizing the Lateral Trim method. SCES does not trim around customer service drop wires. The Lateral Trim method directs new growth away from power lines, thereby reducing the amount of necessary future trimming. The Lateral Trim method also reduces the amount of biological damage to trimmed trees in contrast to such methods as Topping, Tipping and Rounding-over. The Lateral Trim method is recognized and approved by The National Arbor Day Foundation, The International Society of Arboriculture and other entities within the utility forestry industry. SCES removes fallen trees from power lines, including customer service drop wires. In order to restore power, SCES also removes any trees that have fallen due to storms or decay that are obstructing the utility right-of-way. However, wood and brush from fallen trees are not removed by SCES. Customers are advised to contact their local Department of Public Works, trash collector, or professional tree removal company for advice on disposal of storm-related debris.
