Jersey Central Power & Light plans to invest nearly $200 million this year on projects designed to improve service reliability and help meet the increasing demand for electricity in northern and central New Jersey.
The planned reliability projects include investing more than $2 million to upgrade more than 40 distribution circuits in a variety of communities to enhance service reliability and seven others. The improvements — adding animal guards, spacer cable, fuses and installing new wire — are expected to reduce outages on key distribution lines that serve nearly 90,000 customers.
