PECO has reported over 470 outages affecting more than 16,000 customers in the Philadelphia area following severe storms that swept through the region on March 16, 2026. The company is actively working to restore power to those affected.
In addition to addressing the immediate challenges posed by the outages, PECO has recently made a significant operational change by consolidating its headquarters. The new facility, located in Brighton, Colorado, spans 52,000 square feet and includes a centralized dispatch center designed to enhance service efficiency.
The new headquarters consolidates three locations into one facility in suburban Denver, featuring 20 acres of land, 13 double service bays, and a heated indoor wash bay. This strategic move aims to improve PECO’s response capabilities and overall service for its customers.
Marc Dowdell, a representative from PECO, emphasized the importance of the new facility, stating, “The real investment is in what you don’t immediately see – the centralized dispatch, the Kardex systems and the larger bays with 10-ton overhead cranes.” He added, “We can see where every truck is, what every tech is working on and what jobs are coming next.”
As PECO works to restore power, thousands of residents in the Philadelphia area have spent the night without electricity due to the storm’s impact. The company is focused on addressing these outages while also transitioning to its new operational base.
In a related development, Phillips Edison & Company, Inc., which has a market cap of $4.81 billion, reported disappointing earnings for the quarter, missing estimates by $0.28 with earnings per share of $0.38. Jain Global LLC has also reduced its position in the company by 21.3% in the third quarter.
As PECO navigates the challenges of storm recovery and operational changes, the company remains committed to improving its service and response times for customers in the Philadelphia area.
