On June 6, 2008, PSE&G announced a "Reliability Project" that would bring power to Roseland NJ from Pennsylvania. PSE&G plans to string a 500kV line next to the current line that carries 230kV. They will be increasing the transmission capacity by 750% to account for an estimated 1% growth in energy demand per year in the next four years. 

 

They will have to construct 75 new towers ranging from 180-195 feet in height, almost double the height of the current towers. The New Jersey portion will pass through Hardwick Twp, Stillwater Twp, Fredon Twp, Newton, Andover Twp, Byram Twp, Sparta Twp, Jefferson Twp, Rockaway Twp, Kinnelon Boro, Boonton Twp, Montville Twp, Parsippany-Troy Hills Twp, East Hanover Twp, and end in Roseland Boro.

 

Subscribers to this list will receive updates and information on the PSE&G Susquehanna-Roseland "Route B" power line through New Jersey, in the form of news stories, press releases or other sources of information. This is a newsletter list only. A two-way "discussion" list is under consideration, but not currently available.
