“High 5” to Garkane Energy


In mid-February of this year, we were notified, by Phillip Burr of Garkane, that a legacy (mid-1970’s) 7,200 volt buried power line that runs through our property would have to be replaced. Because the line ran through our front yard, I called Mr. Burr and asked to meet with him about our concerns and options, if any. He responded immediately, and we had a meeting at our home in the next few days. Mr. Burr and his Garkane colleagues listened to our concerns and proposed options and agreed to move the line about 20 feet to avoid ditching our front yard. The work is completed and our yard and several piñon pine trees were saved in the process. Mr. Burr and his colleagues were professional, honest and direct with us, and they did what they promised to do. My wife and I would also like to thank our neighbor Dave Love for his support at the meeting.
