Penelec Boosts Service Reliability with Summer Preparations in Pennsylvania
June 26, 2023
Penelec, a FirstEnergy subsidiary, is enhancing service reliability by inspecting and maintaining equipment across its 31-county northern and central Pennsylvania service area for the upcoming hot summer months. Crews are completing inspections of the local energy delivery system to ensure reliable performance during high electric usage and potential severe weather.
Substation electricians use thermovision cameras for summer-readiness inspections, capturing infrared images to detect equipment problems like loose connections, corrosion, and load imbalances. Repairs are made to prevent future power outages.
