Outage risk in West Virginia

West Virginia's outage risk is driven by severe winter ice storms and heavy wet-snow accumulation across its mountainous, heavily forested terrain, which regularly downs trees onto rural distribution lines, plus summer thunderstorm and remnant-hurricane wind damage; Charleston and Huntington's river-valley locations see prolonged restoration times after major ice events, while Morgantown's higher-elevation location adds additional winter-storm exposure.
