Proposed new line in New Jersey US-based Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) is proposing to build a 230kV transmission line in Monmouth County, New Jersey, to meet the growing demand for electricity and to factor redundancy into the system. The proposed 16-mile Oceanview Reinforcement Project will cost in the region of $44.5m and will pass through Colts Neck, Howell, Neptune, Tinton Falls, and Wall. The power line will be built as part of the company's $200m

local infrastructure and transmission enhancement program. JCP&L is expected to file the project petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities by December 2013. PJM Interconnection (PJM), the regional transmission organization that coordinates the movement of electricity and oversees reliability in all or part of 13 states and the District of Columbia, has said that the project should be built and in service by June 2017. PJM's evaluation is based on existing and projected system conditions and the potential for future demand on the system.
