PSE&G Proposes New Power Line

Update

Following review of three possible routes under consideration for a new power line in New Jersey, PSE&G has announced the selection of 'Route B.' The new Susquehanna-Roseland line, which is required by PJM Interconnection, the region's independent system operator, is intended to help prevent overloads and possible blackouts on the power grid.

The selected route begins in Hardwick Township, Warren County, proceeds east to Andover Township, Sussex County, and on to Jefferson Township, Morris County. The route continues east to Montville Township and then turns south to Roseland Borough, Essex County. It follows an existing power line for the entire 45-mile length and will pass through 15 municipalities: Andover Township, Boonton Township, Byram Township, East Hanover Township, Fredon Township, Hardwick Township, Jefferson Township, Kinnelon Borough, Montville Township, Newton Township, Parsippany-Troy Hills Township, Rockaway Township, Roseland Borough, Sparta Township and Stillwater Township.

The Mayor and Committee of Wantage Township thanks all of our citizens who helped express opposition to the proposed Route A.
