• Experienced power line siting company, The Louis Berger Group Inc., will study the area for potential line routes in early 2008. • Public meetings will be held later in 2008. • Line route will be selected by the end of 2008. • Following approval by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, construction could begin in the fourth quarter of 2009.

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.

This power line will run from a PPL substation near Berwick, Pa., to a Public Service Electric and Gas Co. substation near Roseland, N.J. The exact route for the line will not be chosen until we have the results of extensive studies of the region, and until we have received input from residents in the area.

PPL Electric Utilities will build the Pennsylvania portion, and PSE&G will build the section in New Jersey. The line will carry 500,000 volts of electricity. The length of the line will depend on the route selected. It has been estimated by PJM to be up to 100 miles long in Pennsylvania and about 50 miles long in New Jersey.
