As part of a broader strategic effort to better serve customers and modernize the energy grid serving South Jersey, Atlantic City Electric is planning an upgrade to its existing substation in Little Egg Harbor Township. The goal, according to A.C. Electric’s Senior Communications Specialist Frank Tedesco, is to further improve service reliability by strengthening the local energy grid and making it more resilient to the growing threat of extreme weather events.

Project construction is expected to begin in June, with an anticipated completion date of February 2023.
