Pilot Drone Inspection Project

In our effort to identify issues that may cause outages and to better prioritize maintenance projects, Duquesne Light Company (DLC) is testing new inspection technology. Thank you for accommodating us as we work to improve your electric service.


WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • The teams will use aerial drones (also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or UAVs), to perform inspections of DLC-owned poles, including wires and other attached equipment.
  • Crews will be surveying during daylight hours only.
  • Under no circumstance will they need to access the inside of your home.
  • There will be no disruption in power to complete this project.
  • This work will be done safely, courteously, and with minimal interference to your day.
