  Everyone is using more electricity these days, and new power lines are needed to keep up with that demand and to keep our power supply reliable.
The PJM Interconnection, our regional power pool, has decided that a new power line is needed between the Berwick area in Pennsylvania and the Roseland area in New Jersey.
PPL Electric Utilities has been ordered by PJM to construct the Pennsylvania portion of this power line. A route for the new line will be chosen after extensive study and public input.
At PPL, we understand that new power lines can cause concern. We have a long history of building power lines that strike a balance among maintaining reliable electric service, minimizing impact on property owners, protecting the environment and keeping costs down — because electric customers pay the costs of new lines.
