Atlantic City Electric officials said that the pilot went very well, and they hope to have Fulcrum install more. “Atlantic City Electric is committed to providing safe and reliable service to our customers and communities, and a key part of that is the protection of wildlife and the environment,” said Cristina Frank, principal environmental program manager at Pepco Holdings, which includes Atlantic City Electric. “The successful installation of BFDs took place where we have had known bird collision challenges.
