JCP&L Upgrading Morristown Substation to Reduce Power Outages
JCP&L Upgrading Morristown Substation to Reduce Power Outages
MORRISTOWN, N.J., July 2, 2024 -- FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) subsidiary Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) is upgrading a transmission substation in Morristown to help prevent or minimize the impact of power outages caused by flooding, particularly during hurricane season.
第一能源公司（NYSE：FE）的子公司新澤西中央電力公司（JCP&L）正在升級位於莫里斯敦的變速器變電站，以幫助預防或減輕由洪水引起的電力中斷影響，特別是在颶風季節期間。
The $78 million project will raise equipment within the facility to keep it above floodwaters, enhancing service reliability for 23,000 JCP&L customers in northern New Jersey. The Whippany River, which runs along the northeastern border of the property, has become more flood prone in recent years.
這項7800萬美元的項目將提高設施內的設備，使其高於洪水，爲新澤西北部的23,000名JCP&L客戶提供增強的服務可靠性。在這些年中，沿着財產東北邊界流經的Whippany River變得更容易發生洪水。
Doug Mokoid, FirstEnergy's President, New Jersey: "This project is a major undertaking that will help ensure that our customers continue to receive the safe, reliable service they expect from us even as our state sees increasing impacts from Mother Nature. We appreciate the support we've received from local officials as we work to make these vital upgrades to a historic facility."
第一能源公司新澤西州總裁道格·莫科伊德表示：“這個項目是一項重要任務，將確保我們的客戶繼續從我們這裏獲得安全、可靠的服務，即使我們的州因爲自然災害而受到越來越大的影響。我們感謝當地官員的支持，因爲我們一直在努力對一個歷史悠久的設施進行這些必要的升級改造。”
The site, originally purchased in 1928, now sits along a busy residential and commercial thoroughfare. As part of this project, JCP&L has agreed to beautify the property's exterior with shade trees, ornamental trees, decorative pavers and sculptural benches. A screening wall will provide an additional visual barrier, as well as enhanced security around substation equipment, which required a variance from the town for height restrictions. Work is expected to be completed by December 2025.
這個地點最初是在1928年購買的，現在它坐落在一個繁忙的住宅和商業要道上。作爲這個項目的一部分，JCP&L已經同意美化庭院外觀，種植陰影樹、裝飾性樹、裝飾性鋪路石和雕塑長凳。一個屏幕牆將提供一個額外的視覺障礙，以及更強大的安全圍繞變電站的設備，需要一個城鎮的變型從高度限制。工作預計將在2025年12月完成。
The substation functions as a central point for providing local distribution service to nearby neighborhoods and businesses. Additionally, it plays a significant role in connecting other substations in northern New Jersey, as the Morristown facility's high-voltage lines supply power that is later converted for distribution to neighborhood power lines at those locations.
變電站作爲向附近社區和企業提供局部配電服務的中心點。此外，它在連接新澤西北部的其他變電站方面扮演着重要的角色，因爲莫里斯敦設施的高電壓線路提供之後轉換爲分配到這些位置的鄰里電線的能量。
