PECO Work In Tredyffrin To Last Though December

TREDYFFRIN TOWNSHIP, PA — Electrical grid improvement work by PECO is now underway in Tredyffrin Township.

PECO crews are working on North Valley Road in Tredyffrin Township as part of PECO’s Reliability & Resiliency Plan to invest $1.36 billion through 2025 on targeted reliability-focused infrastructure investments.

PECO said the work is expected to be completed in December.

The utility company is working closely with local officials to minimize the impact on traffic and pedestrians whenever possible. Access for services such as trash removal, student transportation and emergency vehicles will be maintained during construction.

During the project, crews may need to temporarily interrupt electrical service to safely complete some of this work.

PECO said it will work with residents to ensure they are informed in advance of its activities and any planned interruptions.

PECO customers should confirm their phone numbers as accurate in PECO's system online here or by calling PECO at 1-800-494-4000.

Existing lower voltage electric circuits will be upgraded to higher voltages to better meet customer needs. This work includes upgrading and installing new equipment, including poles and aerial wires.

In addition, PECO is installing specialized equipment that can automatically restore service or isolate damage. When an issue occurs, like a fallen tree limb, lightning strike or vehicle accident, the equipment stops the flow of electricity on the line and automatically restores electricity where possible.

This work will help to improve reliability – reducing the frequency of outages and minimizing the duration of outages that do occur, and will increase the ability for customers to install clean energy resources, like solar generation, PECO said.
