As part of PSEG Long Island's commitment to delivering safe and reliable energy, we work continuously on energy infrastructure improvements that increase reliability and help to ensure you have power whenever you need it. We are committed to making every effort to ensure the grid is resilient during storms. The improvements we are working on will help support the East Hampton area and are necessary to ensure greater reliability for the electrical system.

The improvements we are making will be in two phases and they include:

• Installing approximately 20,000 feet of underground replacement cable to provide power to the area.
• Installing two new wood poles and replacing two wood poles with poles of similar size and height to accommodate new overhead equipment.
• Installation of new underground equipment to help better isolate and reduce the duration of outages, including eleven new manholes.
