Monmouth County Reliability Project

The state's second-largest electric utility company received a thumbs down on Friday from state regulators on its years-long push for a high-voltage line between Aberdeen and Red Bank. But the folks fighting for the project aren't yet admitting defeat...

Residents Against Giant Electric, which has spent more than $400,000 in its fight to stop "monster power lines" from being built in their backyards, claims JCP&L can solve the same problems and provide the same service to customers without the construction of giant poles and lines that could affect residents' home values and health.

During this public hearing, the public actually received a fair chance to speak.

A much-awaited public hearing on a proposed system upgrade by Jersey Central Power & Light is scheduled for Wednesday in Middletown.
