Extreme heat and humidity are in the forecast next week. We know you depend on us to stay comfortable, and we’re prepared to meet the anticipated increase in electricity usage associated with summer’s first heat wave. From western Ohio to the New Jersey shore, our electric system is designed and maintained to operate safely and effectively even in extreme weather conditions.

In preparation for next week’s hot weather, we’re reviewing staffing levels and operational procedures to ensure any localized power outages caused by excessive heat are handled promptly. We will also delay any planned outage work scheduled for next week in areas with extreme heat.

You can stay connected and get hot weather tips by following your electric company on social media. It’s also a great time to sign up for outage alerts and text messaging to receive updates in the event of a power outage. Stay safe!
