The Public Utility Commission Friday released the 2014 Summer Readiness Overview reports from the state’s 11 electric distribution companies and the regional transmission organization, PJM Interconnection.

The reports provide the companies’ preparations and plans for various conditions – such as severe storms and high temperatures – that may affect electric supply, price and service reliability for the summer months.

“The Commission has a responsibility to safeguard electric utility service for Pennsylvania residents and to make sure it remains reliable,” said PUC Chairman Robert F. Powelson. “These updates help the Commission ensure that the industry is prepared for the high energy use we may see this summer.”

The reports focus on the following: reliability enhancement programs; preventive maintenance programs; capacity planning; 2013/14 storm updates and lessons learned; 2014 summer readiness; and storm response.
