• Restoring Power is a Complex Process by Art Guida, PSE&G Director External Affairs

Our crews work to restore power to the largest numbers of customers first, taking into account "priority customers" such as hospitals, police and fire stations, water and sewer facilities, communications facilities (TV, radio and telephone), and customers on life-sustaining medical equipment (See graphic illustration below). If someone in your family relies on life-sustaining medical equipment, it is important to let the utility know as soon as the equipment is installed. We then focus on restoring power to homes and businesses, starting with the circuits with the largest numbers of customers.

PSE&G is committed to working to reduce the number of outages caused by storms and extreme temperatures. Preventive measures such as our tree trimming program and expert maintenance of our wires and equipment by thousands of our employees help to ensure that you'll always have power when you need it.
