We are contacting you about an upcoming project occurring in New Britain Twp and New Britain Borough that will enhance the local electric distribution system. This project is part of our continued investment in your community to strengthen the electric system, prevent customer outages, modernize the electric grid, and reduce the impact of extreme weather on electric infrastructure.
What you’ll see during this project:
- We will be replacing existing underground transformers with new pad-mount transformers; replacing existing pad-mount transformers; and installing new underground electric cable.
- This equipment is 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 when outages occur, 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 electric cable throughout your neighborhood.
- Any impacted portions of yards or streets will be restored to their prior condition.
- In New Britain Twp work will occur along: Pheasant Run Rd, Pueblo Rd, Mohegan Ct, Cayuga Cir, Oneida Ln, Seneca Dr and Lenape Dr.
- In New Britain Borough work will occur along: Cherokee Rd, Pueblo Rd and Lenape Rd.
- Construction will begin 7/6/2026, with an estimated completion date of 10/1/2026.
- 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.
Crews may need to temporarily interrupt service to safely complete some of this work. We will work with local residents 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.
If you have any questions, please contact Gary Dollahon, Customer Liaison, at Gary.Dollahon@exeloncorp.com.
Sincerely,
PECO
