We are contacting you about an upcoming project occurring in East Marlborough and Pocopson Townships that will enhance the local electric distribution system. This project is a $1.5 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:
- We recently reviewed the electric service reliability in your neighborhood and noted you have experienced multiple interruptions, so we are taking steps to improve your service reliability and reduce the number of power outages you experience.
- We 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:
- We anticipate that tree removals and tree trimming work will be required.
- Work will occur along Folly Hill Rd, E Doe Run Rd, E Street Rd, Brooks Rd, Huntsman Ln, Schilling Dr, Windovr Way, Gideon Dr, and Valley Rd in East Marlborough Township, and Folly Hill Rd in Pocopson Township.
- 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.
During the next few weeks, PECO’s approved contractor will be in your area surveying the necessary tree work. If there is required tree work on your property, we will contact you directly to review the plan in-person.
Tree work is anticipated to begin in February 2026 and is expected to be completed in March 2026. Work on electrical equipment, including poles and wires, is scheduled to start once tree work is complete. The project is expected to be completed in December 2026.
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. To ensure you receive all outage updates, please confirm that your phone number is accurate in our system through MyAccount at peco.com/myaccount or by calling PECO at 1-800-494-4000.
