May 2025
Dear Customer,
We are contacting you about an upcoming project occurring in Upper Uwchlan, Wallace, and West Vincent Townships that will enhance the local electric distribution system. This project is a $8.8 million infrastructure investment in your area to help withstand more frequent and damaging storms, improve reliability by reducing the frequency of outages that cannot be prevented, and support the adoption of cleaner energy resources such as solar and electric vehicles.
About the project:
•We will replace all wires, cables, poles, devices, and transformers on the circuits associated with the Eagle Substation, which will be retired following this work.
•Advanced devices will be installed that can stop the flow of electricity if a problem occurs and automatically restore electricity where possible.
What you’ll see during this project:
•We anticipate that tree removals and tree trimming work will be required.
•Work will occur along Milford Rd, Marshall Rd, Matisse Dr, Maggie Ln, Malehorn Rd, Little Conestoga Rd, Lafayette Cir, Fox Run, Rd, Blackhorse Rd, Forest Glen Dr, Waterview Rd, Lakeview Rd, Lasalle Ln, Tudor Ln, Cambridge Rd, Highview Rd, Pottstown Pk, Green Valley Rd, Buckingham Dr, Conestoga Rd, Rachel Dr, Carriage Dr, Fetters Blvd, Saybrooke Ln, Krauser Rd, Wingate Dr, Fellowship Rd, and Seaboldt Way.
•All work will be performed by PECO crews and qualified PECO contractors.
•We have developed a plan to minimize direct customer impact as much as possible and to complete the project in a safe and timely manner.
During the next few weeks, qualified PECO contractor Davey Resource Group will be in your area surveying the necessary tree work. If there is required tree work on your property, we will contact you directly to review the plan in-person.
Tree work is anticipated to begin in June 2025 and is expected to be completed in December 2025 or January 2026. Work on electrical equipment, including poles and wires, is scheduled to start once tree work is complete. The project is expected to be completed in Q2 2027.
Crews may need to temporarily interrupt electric service to safely complete some of this work. We will work with customers to ensure they are informed in advance of our activities and any planned interruptions. To ensure you receive all outage updates, please confirm that your phone number is accurate in our system through MyAccount at peco.com/myaccount or by calling PECO at 1-800-494-4000.
If you have any questions regarding the details of this project and how it may impact you, please contact Patricia Haug, Customer Liaison, at [email protected].
