Clifton

Reliability Project Overview

PSE&G is currently conducting statewide electric reliability improvements to its utility infrastructure. These enhancements will improve both electric service reliability and system redundancy to ensure safe and reliable service to our customers. Throughout the state of New Jersey, PSE&G infrastructure upgrades will reduce the demand on the existing 26kV network. The projects will install 69kV transmission circuits connecting PSE&G stations around the state.

Activity Overview                                               

  • New 69kV circuits will connect the Toney's Brook Substation in Bloomfield to the Harvey Switching Station on St. Andrews Blvd in Clifton
  • New 69kV circuits will connect the Kuller Road Substation and the Paterson Substation
  • The existing utility poles will be replaced with taller, sturdier poles that combine new 69kV circuits with existing 26kV, 13kV, or 4kV circuits.
  • Vegetation Management activity such as tree trimming or tree removals may occur in order to allow for the safe installation of new equipment.
  • Pole line reconstruction commenced in the 3rd Quarter of 2020.
  • The project is estimated to be completed by the 3rd Quarter of 2021
  • PSE&G will work with the City of Clifton Police to keep traffic impacts to a minimum.
