Electrical utility shifting work
Electrical utility shifting work refers to the practice of utilities rescheduling or reallocating maintenance and repair work to reduce the impact on customers during peak usage periods. This is typically done to minimize the likelihood of service disruptions or outages during times of high demand, such as hot summer days or cold winter nights.
By shifting work to off-peak hours, utilities can reduce the risk of overloading the electrical grid and causing power outages. Additionally, it can help to minimize the inconvenience to customers, as work is less likely to disrupt their daily routines or interfere with their access to electricity.
