PECO will be completing an infrastructure upgrade project to enhance the local electric distribution system. This $3 million investment will help withstand more frequent and damaging storms, improve reliability by reducing the frequency of outages that cannot be prevented, and support the adoption of cleaner energy resources such as solar and electric vehicles.
About the project:
- PECO will be upgrading and installing new, innovative equipment, including new poles and tree-resistant aerial wires.
- Advanced devices will be installed that can stop the flow of electricity if a problem occurs, and dautomatically restore electricity where possible.
What you'll see during this project:
- Please see the map on where the upgrades will occur.
- PECO anticipates tree removals and tree trimming work will be required.
- All work will be performed by PECO crews and qualified PECO contractors.
- PECO has developed a plan to minimize direct customer impact as much as possible and to complete the project in a safe and timely manner.
During the next few weeks, qualified PECO contractor Davey Resource Group will be in your area surveying the necessary tree work. If there is required tree work on your property, PECO will contact you directly to review the plan in-person.
Tree work is anticipated to begin in May 2025 and is expected to be completed in June 2025. Work on electrical euqipemnt, including poles and wires, is scheduled to start once tree work is complete. the project is expected to be completed in December 2025.
Crews may need to temporarily interrupt electric service to safely complete some of this work. PECO will work with customers to ensure they are informed in advance of activities and any planned interruptions.
