Public Service Enterprise Group Power Outage Map – New Jersey – North

At 9 AM on Tuesday August 30th 2011 Public Service Enterprise Group reported that:

PSE&G has restored electric service to about 670,000 customers affected by the hurricane and has made substantial progress during the past 48 hours. We are working to restore the remaining 70,000 customers statewide. The company expects restoration of all customers within the next 4 to 6 days.

In addition to downed trees and wires, flooding has posed a major restoration challenge, especially in counties like Bergen, Middlesex, Somerset and Union. Employees are drying and cleaning flooded substations so they can put circuits from those stations back on line and restore customers. Flood waters are preventing employees from entering a number of other areas. Customers, particularly in flooded areas, should be prepared for lengthy outages until flood waters recede and crews can safely enter.
