PECO Planning $15M Project In Warminster Area

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — PECO will be working in Ivyland, Warminster, and two other nearby communities to bolster the local electric distribution system.

Warminster Township officials said the $15 million infrastructure project will provide upgrades to withstand more frequent and damaging storms, improve reliability by reducing the frequency of outages that cannot be prevented, and support cleaner energy resources such as solar and electric vehicles.

Work will also be conducted in Warwick and Northampton Township.

PECO did not state when the work would begin.

PECO plans to:

• Replace all wires, cables, poles, devices, and transformers on the circuits associated with the Richboro Substation, which will be retired following this work.
• Install advanced devices will be installed that can stop the flow of electricity if a problem occurs and automatically restore electricity where possible.
