PECO Begins Equipment Upgrade Project In Middletown

October 4, 2024

PECO has begun a “significant electric reliability improvement project” in Middletown Township.

According to a notice to residents, the project started last month and is intended to ensure service stability for its customers.

The project is presently scheduled to wrap up by late January 2025.

PECO said the work involves upgrading electrical infrastructure along several residential streets.

The utility company plans to replace lower voltage circuits with higher voltages, install new conduits, underground cables, and update or install new equipment as needed to meet current and future power demands.

The work will take place on Tareyton Drive, Kenton Drive, East Winchester Avenue, Lowell Court, Eaton Court, Andover Drive, Farleigh Court, Coventry Lane, Garrison Court, Oxford Court, Barclay Court, Stratton Court, and Princeton Court.

Residents should be aware of potential temporary service interruptions designed to ensure safety during the upgrades, according to the company.

PECO said they will notify affected customers in advance of any planned outages, and residents are asked to update their contact information via the MyAccount feature on PECO’s website to receive updates.

The utility provider is coordinating closely with Middletown Township officials to minimize disruptions to traffic and ensure access is maintained for emergency and essential services, according to the public notice.
