PSE&G STORM WARNING

PSE&G Prepares for Winter Storms

In anticipation of the storm, PSE&G has additional personnel and equipment on hand. We are also arranging for additional tree crews to assist PSE&G's own skilled workforce, and ensuring that extra supplies, including poles and transformers, are available.
PSE&G urges you to be cautious if you see downed lines. 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. You can also report power outages and view the status of an outage by logging in to My Account on pseg.com , PSE&G's mobile-friendly website.
PSE&G offers the following tips to prepare:
  • Charge your cell phones, tablets and other mobile devices.
  • Fill up your car's fuel tank.
  • Check your supply of flashlights, blankets, nonperishable food and bottled water.
  • If electricity is interrupted, keep refrigerator doors closed as much as possible.
  • Compile a list of emergency phone numbers, including PSE&G's Customer Service line: 1-800-436-PSEG. Call this number to report power outages or downed wires.
PSE&G offers a number of ways to stay in touch and informed before, during and after a storm. These tools can be found at pseg.com in the "Storm Center," under "How you can stay connected."
