⛈️ We're monitoring tomorrow's forecast, which could bring thunderstorms and strong winds. We're prepared and have crews standing by to respond if outages occur. Save this information so you can quickly report an outage if needed + text REG to 544487 to get outage updates. ⤵️

As gusty weather conditions continue, our crews will keep working around the clock to restore power. If you lose power, please text OUT to 544487 or call 888-544-4877 to report your outage. We'll continue to share restoration updates as crews assess damage.

Many of the coastal outages are due to a “loss of supply” where all or a portion of a substation is without power. As crews address these outages, we expect power to be restored in stages, with larger numbers of customers restored at a time.

Winds have picked up significantly in eastern and central New Jersey, quickly causing new outages. More than 60,000 customers in our coastal territory are currently without power, with another 11,000 in our northern service area.
