TEP is not your average utility company. They have a proven track record of and commitment to the critical balance between providing service to their customers and protecting sensitive resources. From maintaining transformers and distribution poles along a city street to siting and construction of transmission lines, they care. Programs and initiatives like their Raptor Protection, Beat Back Buffelgrass removal efforts and their cactus rescue efforts are just a few examples of their integrated approach to being good stewards of the community in every way they can. Join us to hear more about the how and the why! This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Electric Power Company.
