Wake Forest Power

WF Power LogoA division of the Town of Wake Forest, Wake Forest Power strives to provide uninterrupted electric service to nearly 7,000 residential and commercial customers through the regular maintenance and upkeep of the town's electric distribution system.

Altogether, our crews operate and maintain more than 95 miles of overhead electric distribution lines. They regularly refurbish or rebuild electric lines that show signs of wear, and upgrade facilities where electric load has grown. Additionally, through our Reliability Improvement Program, we identify electric lines and circuits that require upgrades or even complete reconstruction to meet the growing needs of our community.

Thanks to these efforts, our customers enjoy dependable electric service 99.9% of the time. On those rare occasions when power is interrupted, the problem is often traced to equipment issues that are undetectable prior to the outage and unpredictable wildlife.
