NEWARK, N.J., Aug. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Public Service Gas
& Electric Company's (PSE&G) North Central Reliability
Project (NCRP) will be the subject of three public hearings held by
the New Jersey Board of Public
Utilities (NJBPU). The hearings provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on the project as part of the official
record.
The hearings will be held from 7 p.m. -10
p.m. at the following locations:
- September 7: Mayfair Farms,
481 Eagle Rock Ave., West
Orange
- September 8: Chatham High
School, 255 Lafayette Avenue, Chatham
Township
- September 22: Sheraton

The NCRP will upgrade transmission lines and substations from
existing 138,000-volt (138kV) to 230,000-volt (230kV) power in the
northern and central regions of the state. The upgrade is
required by PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., the federally approved
independent regional planning organization. The project will
maintain reliability for New
Jersey businesses and residents, provide better power
quality, and reduce transmission system congestion in the
region.
Overall the NCRP spans approximately 35 miles. It will go
through West Orange, Livingston, Roseland, Florham
Park, Chatham Borough,
Chatham Township, New Providence, Berkeley Heights, Watchung, Scotch
Plains, Fanwood,
Clark, Edison, Metuchen and Woodbridge along an existing PSE&G
overhead right-of-way.
