power outages

JCP&L customers should no longer experience protracted power outages similar to that which proceeded Superstorm Sandy.

Residents and businesses in Monmouth and Ocean counties may be able to expect better service and quicker restoration times during major power outage events, thanks to a brand new partnership.

Officials from New Jersey utilities joined federal officials on Tuesday to highlight the need to strengthen power deliver systems in the state as the one year anniversary of Sandy approaches.

By summer, the state's utility companies will be required to increase interaction with their customers before and after major weather events, as well as during widespread power outages.

Superstorm Sandy did a number on Jersey Central Power & Light. Now, the utility is turning to you, the customer, for some financial help.

Hoping to minimize the impact of severe weather on public utilities and shorten power outages for residents, a state legislator will introduce a bill today to create a commission tasked with finding better ways deliver energy to consumers.

Of all the darkness that swept over the Jersey shore while Sandy was barreling through, perhaps none of it was as problematic as those traffic signals that stopped working. Assemblywoman Amy Handlin(R-13) and seven Monmouth County mayors see a solution in solar signals, and they're urging FEMA for funding...

There are systemic problems with the utilities operating in the Garden State that desperately need to be addressed says Tim McDonough, mayor of Hope in northwestern New Jersey.

Roughly 1.7 million New Jerseyans remain without power today. Governor Chris Christie says the Garden State has never seen a storm as devastating as Sandy so the standard rules for full power restoration do not apply.

If you rely on Jersey Central Power and Light (JCP&L) for your electric, it may be several more days before service will be fully restored.
