⛈️ 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 local power lines are repaired and put back in service, damage to individual customer service wires may become apparent. If your neighbor's power is on and yours is not, the problem may be isolated to your individual service. If this happens, please let us know ⤵️
⚡If operating a generator, locate it outside and away from windows/doors/vents + power coming into the home should always be disconnected to prevent power from the generator going back onto utility lines, creating a dangerous situation for workers. More: spr.ly/6182Iv3z0
Our crews continue making steady progress following Thursday’s storms, with service now restored to 97% of impacted customers. They continue to navigate significant damage across our electric system and surrounding areas.
Approximately 2,400 customers remain without service, and we expect to restore power to the majority of remaining customers by 11 p.m. today.
For current updates, visit our outage map at spr.ly/PAOutageMap or text STAT to 544487.
If you receive a call or text that power has been restored but you remain without service, a secondary issue may need to be addressed. We know this can be frustrating, but confirming your power is still out allows crews to continue addressing the cause of your outage. ⤵️
Crews continue working around the clock to restore service to customers affected by this week's severe storms. Crews are addressing uprooted trees, downed power lines, broken utility poles, damaged electrical equipment and equipment impacted by flooding.
The widespread and varied damage across our system has made restoration efforts more complex than typical storm response. For updates, visit our outage map at spr.ly/PAOutageMap, or text STAT to 544487. To receive outage updates directly to your phone, text REG to 544487.
West Penn Power crews, with support from FirstEnergy sister companies and mutual assistance crews, continue working around the clock to restore power following severe storms that brought damaging winds, heavy rain and frequent lightning overnight.
While you may not see crews working in your neighborhood, they may be repairing transmission lines or other critical equipment that must be restored before power can be returned to homes and businesses. In many cases, the damage impacting your service may be located miles away.

⚠ Stay 30+ ft from downed lines and anything they might be touching
⚠ Be careful where lines are tangled in trees or debris
