When Will Power Be Restored after Hurricane Sandy?

The big question for all of us hit hard from Hurricane Sandy is when will our power be restored.  This was a huge and devastation store for all of the tri-state area.  As of today, there are over 1.8 million homes and business without power not to mention the thousands and thousands that lost their homes.

According to News12, the following is a list of estimated power restorations:

  • Public Service Electric & Gas expects to reconnect 780,000 within a week to 10 days.
  • Jersey Central Power & Light says it has restored service to 20 percent of its affected customers. JCP&L estimates most of the remaining 910,646 households will be restored within a week. It may take two weeks for some in the hardest hit areas.
  • Atlantic City Electric, which has 77,267 outages, expects to restore service to customers on the mainland by Sunday. There’s no estimate for repairs on the barrier islands.
  • Orange & Rockland Electric claims it has almost completed restored service
  • Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative says they have around 2,500 customers without power.
