Sunbury-Frackville Project
PPL Electric UtilitiesResilient Transmission System
A resilient transmission system helps us deliver safe, reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity across the region.
That’s why we’ve invested in focused upgrades and have continued to innovate and advance our electric grid through transmission projects, like this one, to improve reliability, protect the grid from extreme weather, reduce outages and enable renewable energy interconnections.
Stay Informed
We’re planning to rebuild approximately 37 miles of the existing Sunbury-Frackville 230 kV transmission line that runs through Northumberland, Schuylkill and Snyder Counties to meet the existing and growing demand for power in the surrounding area, which includes a new customer facility. In addition, the project will provide greater reliability and resiliency to local communities and the larger region.
We want to keep you informed every step of the way. As part of this effort, we’re hosting two informational open houses due to the overall size of this project. On Tuesday, December 16, we’ll host an open house at the Schuylkill Technology Center North Campus located at 101 Technology Drive, Frackville, PA 17931. On Wednesday, December 17, we’ll host a second informational open house at the Selinsgrove VFW Hall located at 940 Route 522, Selinsgrove, PA 17870. A project team will be on hand at both open houses to provide information about the project and answer any questions you may have. There is no set agenda for the open house, no formal presentations and the information presented will be the same for both nights. Feel free to visit at your convenience any time between 6 and 8 p.m., at whichever open house is more conveniently located. We’ve also established a dedicated email address, SunburyFrackvilleProject@pplweb.com, for customers and stakeholders to reach out with questions and comments.
