This project is a $325 thousand infrastructure investment in the 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.
New equipment, including pad-mount transformers, will be installed to replace existing underground transformers. These devices are necessary to reduce electric voltage throughout neighborhoods and require several feet of clearance to allow for future maintenance.
Pad-mount transformers enhance reliability, are safer, and decrease restoration times compared to underground transformers. The pad-mount transformers will be installed on residential property, as close as possible to the current underground equipment that is being replaced.
If a pad-mount transformer will be installed on your property, you will be contacted directly.
A machine will be used to install new conduit as well as new underground electrical cable throughout your neighborhood.
Any impacted portions of yards or streets will be restored.
Construction is estimated to be completed in late August 2025.
Work will be performed by PECO crews and qualified PECO contractors.
