JCP&L Invests Nearly $400,000 to Enhance Electric Service in Monmouth County
Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), a FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) subsidiary, is completing two electric system upgrade projects in Monmouth County, investing nearly $400,000 to enhance service for over 4,000 customers in Neptune Township, Monmouth Beach, and Sea Bright.
In Neptune Township, infrastructure upgrades include new fiberglass crossarms and lightning arrestors, benefiting 1,100+ customers. Along the coast, a separate project involves upgrading insulators along a two-mile stretch of high-voltage power line, serving 3,200 customers in Sea Bright and Monmouth Beach. Both projects feature wildlife protection measures, particularly deterring osprey nesting.
These initiatives are part of Energize365, FirstEnergy's $26 billion grid evolution program planned for 2024-2028 across six states, aimed at creating a smarter, more secure power grid.

The replacement of lightning arrestors and upgrading of insulators along the high-voltage power line demonstrates a proactive approach to grid hardening. While the monetary investment is relatively modest compared to FirstEnergy's overall capital expenditure plans, these targeted improvements affect over 4,000 customers and align with the company's long-term grid modernization strategy. The focus on employee-led projects also suggests effective bottom-up operational optimization.
Projects benefit 4,000+ customers in

This project also replaced three lightning arrestors along a neighborhood power line to protect the line from lightning strikes. The work was completed in late 2024 and will enhance electric service for more than 1,100 JCP&L customers in the town.
By the coast, a different project is underway to upgrade insulators along a nearly-two-mile stretch of a high-voltage power line, using a type of insulator that also helps deter ospreys from nesting on the poles. Existing metal crossarms and some wood crossarms are also being replaced with fiberglass crossarms. The work is scheduled to be completed by late January and will benefit nearly 3,200 JCP&L customers in
