Project Overview

In the interconnected electric system, transmission lines act like interstate highways. They transfer large amounts of power throughout the region to ensure that electricity is available to meet growing demand – particularly at peak times like searing hot summer days and freezing winter nights.

After an exhaustive study process that included 10 public input workshops throughout the region, numerous meetings, and contacts with residents, elected officials and others, PPL Electric Utilities has chosen Route B from among the three possible routes announced in June 2008.

Route B runs north from Berwick, Pa., past Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, then east to Hawley and southeast to Bushkill, where it crosses the Delaware River. The New Jersey portion of the line, from the river to Roseland, will be built by Public Service Electric & Gas Co.

PPL will now focus its attention on working with residents, officials and groups along Route B to incorporate their input into our construction plans whenever we can.
