Atlantic City Electric will improve reliability in Ocean City by installing special equipment to reduce the number of customers affected by power outages.

Reclosers will be installed for areas serving every 500 customers or fewer, so when an outage occurs outside of a substation area, fewer homes and businesses will be impacted. Instead of having a couple of thousand customers without power because of a pole accident, for instance, 500 or fewer customers will be affected until repairs are made.

Installation of these reclosers will require service interruptions this winter as crews replace existing poles, transformers and wire. Contractors will notify customers before these outages occur. The work also will require road closings and detours around the blocks where work is taking place.

For the week of March 11 to 15, the tentative schedule (weather permitting) of service interruptions will be as follows:

  • Monday - Tuesday: Gull Rd. & E Atlantic Blvd.
  • Tuesday-Wednesday: On Atlantic Avenue between St Charles Place and St. James Place
  • Wednesday - Friday: On Corinthian between 2nd and 3rd streets and on Delancey between the Ocean and Atlantic avenues.
