FirstEnergy Corporation is undertaking a major grid upgrade in Monmouth County, New Jersey, through its subsidiary Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L). The project involves building a new high-voltage power line between substations in Middletown Township and Red Bank Borough, with sections of the line being placed underground and others strengthened on existing poles. This initiative is part of FirstEnergy's long-term Energize365 program, which plans to invest $28 billion between 2025 and 2029 to modernize the electric grid. The upgrade aims to enhance service reliability, reduce outages, and support future growth in the region. Customers will not experience any service interruptions during the construction, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
