KUB's Century II infrastructure management program works to ensure the 5,400 miles of service lines, 63 substations, and supporting equipment continue to operate according to KUB's quality standards.

In addition to infrastructure maintenance, KUB ensures reliable service through its Vegetation Management program. Since more than half of power outages are caused by vegetation, this program is key to maintaining quality service. KUB maintains more than 5,000 miles of electric line and prunes along approximately 1,000 miles of line every year.

The American Public Power Association recognizes KUB as a Diamond Level Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3) because of its high proficiency in reliability, safety, workforce development, and system improvement.
