Starting in late May, PECO will be performing a project occurring in Upper Moreland Township that will enhance the local electric distribution system. This project is a $1.9 million infrastructure investment in your area to 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 automatically restore electricity where possible.
What you’ll see during this project
- Work will occur along Huntingdon Road, Terwood Road, Greenwood Drive, Red Barn Road, Division Avenue, Overlook Avenue, and Edge Hill Road.
- All work will be performed by PECO crews and qualified PECO contractors.
- We have developed a plan to minimize direct customer impact as much as possible and to complete the project in a safe and timely manner.
Tree work has been completed. Work on electrical equipment, including poles and wires, is scheduled to start late May 2025. The project is expected to be completed by late October 2025.
Crews may need to temporarily interrupt electric service to safely complete some of this work. We will work with customers to ensure they are informed in advance of our activities and any planned interruptions.
