Smart Grid

JCP&L’s $95 million reliability project is yielding significant results, with over 80% fewer outages for 16,500 customers in Morris and Monmouth counties due to grid upgrades. The initiative focuses on strengthening infrastructure, undergrounding utilities, and implementing smart grid technology. Future phases will enhance reliability for thousands more customers across Hunterdon, Ocean, and Warren counties. This project is part of FirstEnergy’s broader $28 billion “Energize365” investment to modernize its electric grid.
