Utility companies are searching for better ways to bolster their equipment against extreme weather and even cyberattacks. The South Jersey Gas Co. recently upgraded its infrastructure, spending $69 million on a new pump station.
“This project reduces the risk of gas supply interruptions caused by extreme weather or cyber threats or other issues which could have an impact on interstate pipelines,” said Melissa Orsen, president and CEO of South Jersey Gas Co.
Lead funding for Peril and Promise is provided by Dr. P. Roy Vagelos and Diana T. Vagelos. Major support is provided by Marc Haas Foundation and Sue and Edgar Wachenheim, III.
