PECO’s is working to upgrade and install new equipment to modernize and enhance the local electric infrastructure. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the construction completion has been delayed. The project is expected to be completed by late March 2026.

About the project:

  • Work will occur along Huntingdon Road, Terwood Road, Greenwood Drive, Red Barn Road, Division Avenue, Overlook Avenue, and Edge Hill Road .
  • 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.

 

Tree work has been completed. Work on electrical equipment, including poles and wires started in July 2025. The project is expected to be completed by late March 2026. 


Crews may need to temporarily interrupt electric service to safely complete some of this work.
