What does “Planned maintenance” mean, and why couldn’t it be postponed? 

June 29, 2026

Planned maintenance refers to planned work on infrastructure that is necessary to maintain system reliability, safety, and performance. In many cases, this work must be planned in advance based on contractor availability, system conditions, and operational requirements. In this instance, the maintenance had been planned prior to the storm event and was already underway when conditions changed.
