    How the electric grid works

    The electrical grid is a highly complex system that delivers electricity to homes and businesses. It can be broken down into three key steps:

    ""

    Generation

    Electricity starts at a generator, which can be powered by fossil fuels, wind turbines, solar panels, water or nuclear reactors.

    ""

    Transmission

    After power is generated, it moves throughout the Valley through transmission lines – those large power lines you often see along the road.

    ""

    Distribution

    Electricity travels through overhead or underground power lines and into your home.

    Developing the next-generation power grid

    Grid enhancements will include quicker outage restoration, improved cybersecurity and better integration with renewable sources.

    SRP projects at your home

    To maintain the power grid and ensure reliable delivery to your home, it’s critical to allow SRP crew members access to equipment for repairs and maintenance.

    See what to expect and how to prepare for SRP's cable replacement and maintenance process.

    1. First, we’ll need access.
      If we need to access equipment in your yard, we’ll send a letter, leave a door hanger or call you to let you know.

      We do our best to inform you in advance; however, our crews may need immediate access during planned maintenance, emergencies or storm-related damages and outages.

      When we arrive to do the work, a crew member will knock on your door and announce their intentions before starting the work. See how to verify that crew members are from SRP.
    2. We try our best to avoid outages.
      It's possible that a line may need to be de-energized while work is being done.

      You may be affected by a brief outage, but in most cases, this will only be for a short period of time.

      If a new wire is being installed, another outage may be necessary at a later date. In that case, SRP will notify you at least two days in advance of the planned power outage.

      If you have a medical condition and depend on a medical device that requires electricity, please contact the Public Involvement Agent listed on your construction phase letter for more information.
    3. Sometimes digging is necessary.
      Digging is necessary when working on an underground electrical conduit. Our designers will always choose the path of least resistance and work to avoid conflict with existing underground structures.

      At the end of a project, our team is dedicated to restoring a site to its former state as best as possible.
    4. We’re available — and happy — to resolve any issues.
      Our Public Involvement Representative will send a series of letters including the SRP Public Involvement Representative responsible for your project.

      Please contact the  Representative listed on your letter and we’ll be happy to address your concerns as soon as possible.
