Here is a message from PECO regarding an upcoming project that will occur in Wrightstown Township and the surrounding areas:
September 2025
Dear Customer,
We are contacting you about an upcoming project occurring in Buckingham Twp, Solebury Twp, Upper Makefield Twp and Wrightstown that will enhance the local electric distribution system. This project is a $43 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 Stoney/Wright/Mountain 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.
- For the Stoney portion of the project work will occur on the following streets:
- In Buckingham Twp: Street Rd, Tower View Rd, Pineville Rd, New Rd and Ridge Rd.
- In Solebury Twp: Old Windy Bush Rd, Windy Bush Rd, Pidcock Creek Rd, Atkinson Rd, Street Rd and Stoney Hill Rd.

- 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 January 2026 and is expected to be completed in August 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 December 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.
