North Brunswick
Reliability Project Overview
The Metuchen-Trenton-Burlington Project (MTB) was a $739M investment designed to strengthen the electric transmission system by replacing 138,000-volt (138kV) circuits with 230,000-volt (230kV) circuits between the PSE&G Metuchen Switching Station in Edison, NJ and the PSE&G Burlington Switching Station in Burlington, NJ. The project replaced aging infrastructure in 17 municipalities and modified, upgraded or reconfigured 17 electric stations.
The project was separated into three segments and required overhead transmission modifications within existing PSE&G right of ways. The existing 138kV lattice towers supporting the overhead lines were replaced with monopoles. Segment IA of the project ran from Metuchen to Brunswick, while Segment IB ran from Brunswick to Trenton. Segment II ran from Trenton to Burlington. This project placed in-service in June 2022.

January 2017 - April 2017 North Brunswick Switching Station Work will continue inside the PSE&G station fence line through the spring. Activity in the station will include, but not limited to: pouring foundations, installing underground electrical equipment, and installing monopole support equipment. Excluding inclement weather delays, PSE&G anticipates working Monday through Friday (7:30am – 6:00pm) and Saturday (8:00am - 6:00pm). On Sunday, March 26 and Sunday April 2, PSE&G will be removing wire from a lattice tower inside the PSE&G Switching Station from 9:00 a.m.- 6 p.m. During this time, one lane of traffic on Victory Ave may be closed to accommodate the work and equipment. Local police will be on site to ensure safe conditions for the public. Safety is our primary concern. PSE&G will work with the North Brunswick Police Department to minimize any traffic concerns or inconveniences to the public. During construction, please refrain from going near our construction work zones.

December 9-12 Beginning on Friday December 9th and continuing through Monday December 12, installation of two monopoles will occur inside the PSE&G North Brunswick Switching Station. No construction activity will occur on Sunday. |
69kV InitiativeReliability Project OverviewPSE&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. ...Read More |
