Mission Statement
“To represent Lower Makefield Township in working to improve electrical reliability.”
Due to multi-day electric power outages in the Township, the LMT Board of Supervisors (BOS) sees the growing need for improvements to the electric-grid infrastructure within our demographic boundaries. To determine potential solutions, the BOS has established the LMT Electric Reliability Committee under the guidance and liaison of Supervisor Kristin Tyler. The mission of this new citizen committee is as follows:
- Seek a weather-hardened electric grid with the capability to deliver highly dependable electric power with a maximum of electric uptime.
- Develop a collaborative participation with PECO to jointly explore and develop electric grid upgrade plans and schedules of installation that will ultimately serve the best interests of PECO and the Township citizens, businesses and agencies.
- Acquire from PECO detailed data including outage-duration, frequency of electric outages, and momentary losses of power within the Township.
- Obtain from PECO the demographic identification of the worst performing groups of related streets within the Township.
- Request from PECO causation and remedial efforts for all Township electric outages.
- Additionally, explore with PECO accelerated assignment of lineman crews for repair of grid damage.
