Public Service : PSE&G is Prepared for Heavy Rain and Strong Winds
PEG
(Newark, NJ - June 26, 2024) PSE&G is prepared for possible thunderstorms that could bring gusty winds and rain throughout its service area Wednesday into Thursday. The weather system could bring hazardous wind gusts (40 to 50 MPH) across the service area - enough to potentially topple trees, bring down branches on wires and cause outages. We encourage customers to take the time now to prepare - know how to stay safe before, during and after a storm and know how to report an outage before it happens.
PSE&G is Prepared
In advance of the storm, PSE&G crews are performing system and logistics checks to ensure the availability of critical materials, fuel and other supplies to fulfill our commitment to bring customers safe and reliable service regardless of extreme weather conditions.
"PSE&G is closely monitoring this latest weather front and we are once again prepared for potential impacts on the system," said John Latka, senior vice president PSE&G Electric Operations, Transmission & Distribution. "We have crews scheduled 24/7 who will be ready for restoration once weather conditions permit. Our crews will work to safely restore any outages as quickly as conditions will allow."
PSE&G prepares year-round for extreme weather to maintain reliable service for our customers. Eleven years after Superstorm Sandy raged across the East Coast, PSE&G continues to work to protect customers' utility service from the damaging impact of extreme weather by strengthening and upgrading its infrastructure. Our investments in new infrastructure have helped us remain one of the nation's most reliable utility companies. In fact in December 2023, J.D. Power named PSE&G number one in customer satisfaction with residential and business electric service in the east among large utilities.
