The National Park Service selection of the route preferred by Public Service Electric and Gas Co. and PPL Electric Utilities Corp. – a route already approved by utility regulators – is a major step forward for the Susquehanna-Roseland project, a regional power line that will have benefits for millions of electricity users.
PPL Electric Utilities and PSE&G are building the transmission line to improve electric service in the Northeast. It will prevent overloads on other power lines.
The park service selection of the utilities' route as the NPS Preferred Alternative, part of the ongoing Environmental Impact Statement process, is a milestone for the project.
