FirstEnergy Corporation is undertaking a significant expansion with a $15.4 million investment aimed at bolstering the electric infrastructure in Hunterdon County. The upgrades, managed by its subsidiary Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), focus on enhancing the reliability of electric service for over 3,600 customers in eight local communities, including Alexandria and Flemington Borough. The project includes reconfiguring overhead lines, modernizing substations, and installing underground wires to reduce outages and expedite repairs. This initiative is part of FirstEnergy's commitment to providing safe and dependable electricity, as demand grows in areas served by the Baptistown and Rosemont substations. The enhancements are expected to offer increased grid flexibility and storm resiliency, ensuring a more reliable power supply for customers across the region.
