NORTH BRUNSWICK – PSE&G is currently conducting statewide electric reliability improvements to upgrade its utility infrastructure.
In North Brunswick, new 69kV circuits will connect the North Brunswick Switching Station and Bennetts Lane Substation. The existing utility poles will be replaced with taller, sturdier poles that combine new 69kV circuits with existing 26kV, 13kV or 4kV circuits, according to information provided by PSE&G. Vegetation Management activity such as tree trimming or tree removals will occur in order to allow for
safe installation of new equipment.
The overhead route runs along an existing pole line on Route 130 to South Brunswick and is expected to begin in late November. The underground route will be installed along Hamlin Place and Van Buren Drive and is estimated to begin February or March 2017. All work schedules and locations are subject to material/personnel availability and weather conditions.
The entire project route will be approximately 10 miles along the existing public right of ways in the towns of South Brunswick, North Brunswick and Franklin Township. These enhancements will improve both electric service reliability and system redundancy to ensure safe and reliable electric service to our customers, according to PSE&G.
