Our grid is one of the most reliable in the country. Over the past decade, we have made significant investments to build a stronger, smarter and more resilient grid. From clearing vegetation around power lines and replacing aging equipment to installing state-of-the-art grid technology, our reliability investments mean customers are experiencing 30% fewer outages since 2011.
Meet Casey Rishel, a dedicated forester at PPL Electric Utilities, who ensures safe, reliable power by managing tree trimming and vegetation along power lines. Learn about his role and our commitment to both electric reliability and environmental stewardship in Lycoming County.
For over 100 years, we’ve served communities throughout central and eastern Pennsylvania, not just because it’s our job, but because this is our home. It’s where our children go to school. We’re all neighbors. Over 460 PPL employees recently took part in the United Way’s annual Day of Caring. Our employees painted, planted, packed, shopped and beautified 20 different organizations across our service area. We look forward to keeping this momentum going, and we can’t wait to go even bigger in 2025.
