PSEG Long Island continues to make improvements to its energy infrastructure in order to increase reliability and minimize outages affecting our customers. We are committed to making every effort to ensure our grid is resilient during storms. This project will help improve reliability to the area and help reduce restoration time. 

Benefits of Reliability Work
New /upgraded underground equipment and cables 

• The new equipment will be less likely to fault
• The upgraded equipment has higher capacity to allow for increased loads and better overall voltage quality
• Transformers will be moved from backyards to the street to allow for easier access to equipment, reducing trouble shooting times
  The existing cable that brings power to your home will remain in the rear property

 
In addition to roadways, infrastructure will also be installed, in some instances along the side or rear property

Project Timeline
Construction work is scheduled to start January 2026 and be completed by June 2026.Crews will be working Monday through Friday from 7:00am thru 6:00pm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please see the most frequently asked questions below.

• Will there be tree trimming?
  Trees growing near power lines significantly increase the chance of power outages and pose safety risks. As we expand and improve our electric circuits, we will trim trees, where necessary, following our utility best practice model (ANSI A300 standards as well as the Best Management Practices Tree Pruning publication): 8 feet to each side; 12 feet above; and 10 feet below the line.
• Will there be any planned power outages? 
  In the event that a brief planned outage is required, all affected customers will be notified in advance.
• Will there be any traffic interruptions? 
  There will be minimal traffic and parking disruptions along the project route. To ensure traffic moves safely, PSEG Long Island will provide cones, flaggers, and signage at the work sites, as needed.
