Our crews and outside contractors are working 24/7 to restore power after yesterday’s storm. We’ve already restored service to more than half of affected customers, and remain focused on restoring power to the remaining 24,000 — primarily Berks, Montgomery & Lebanon counties.

As estimated restoration times become available, they’ll be posted on our outage map: https://t.co/1pNIfkqFpq. You can also text STAT to 544487 to get an update for your home.

Fallen trees and blocked roads can also delay crews as they travel to outage locations. Once these conditions subside, we’ll be out there working to restore service as quickly as safely possible.

[Met-Ed @Met_Ed]

We continue to monitor today's windstorm closely. Strong winds can make it harder for our crews to restore power and may slow restoration efforts. For safety reasons, crews cannot use bucket trucks when wind speeds are above 40 mph.

[Met-Ed @Met_Ed]

As high winds continue to move through our service area throughout today, please be sure to let us know if you experience an outage ⤵️

⚠️ High winds can down trees and power lines. If you must go outside, stay alert for downed lines. Stay 30+ ft away and report them ASAP to 911.
