Update: 03/23/2026
Residents along Wrightstown Road, Buckman Drive, and Maher Lane will be receiving this notice from PECO regarding the upcoming project to update the electric distribution system.
March 2026
Dear Customer,
We are contacting you about an upcoming project occurring in Wrightstown Twp that will enhance the local electric distribution system. This project is part of our continued investment in your community to strengthen the electric system, prevent customer outages, modernize the electric grid, and reduce the impact of extreme weather on electric infrastructure. This work will also support the adoption of cleaner energy resources, like customer-owned solar generation and electric vehicles.
What you’ll see during this project:
- We will be replacing existing underground transformers with new pad-mount transformers; replacing existing pad-mount transformers; and installing new underground electric cable.
- This equipment is necessary to reduce electric voltage throughout neighborhoods and require several feet of clearance to allow for future maintenance.
- Pad-mount transformers enhance reliability, are safer, and decrease restoration times when outages occur, compared to underground transformers.
- The pad-mount transformers will be installed on residential property, as close as possible to the current underground equipment that is being replaced.
- If a pad-mount transformer will be installed on your property, you will be contacted directly.
- A machine will be used to install new conduit as well as new underground electric cable throughout your neighborhood.
- Any impacted portions of yards or streets will be restored to their prior condition.
- Work will occur along Wrightstown Rd, Buckman Dr and Maher Ln.
- Construction will begin 4/15/2026, with an estimated completion date of 8/15/2026.
- 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.
Crews may need to temporarily interrupt service to safely complete some of this work. We will work with local residents 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, please contact Gary Dollahon, Customer Liaison, at Gary.Dollahon@exeloncorp.com.

Here is a message from PECO regarding an upcoming project that will occur in Wrightstown Township and the surrounding areas:
