• PSE&G is reporting 57 of the utility's 2.2 million electric customers without power as a result of the storm. The utility has restored service to more than 2,200 customers since the blizzard began.
  • Crews continue to work throughout the night to restore power to all customers.
  • The utility also is responding promptly to no-heat calls.

  • PSE&G urges its customers to be cautious during and after the storm:

    • To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, do not run any gasoline powered engine, including generators and snowblowers, in a garage or any other enclosed space.

    • Downed wires should always be considered "live." Do not approach or drive over a downed line and do not touch anything that it might be in contact with.
  • To report downed wires or power outages, call PSE&G's Customer Service line at 1-800-436-PSEG. Also, customers can report outages by logging into their PSE&G account online at pseg.com or by texting "OUT" to 4PSEG (47734). The utility's mobile-friendly website includes an "Outage Map" that is updated every 15 minutes and displays the location and status of power outages in PSE&G's service area.
