Utilities Restore Power After Weekend Storms Across New York and New Jersey

Nearly 60,000 households remain in the dark across New York and New Jersey as utility crews struggle to repair infrastructure damaged by severe weekend storms. While major restoration efforts are underway, power companies continue to manage localized outages and intermittent service suspensions across their respective service territories.

Utilities Restore Power After Weekend Storms Across New York and New Jersey

Central Hudson Gas & Electric reported approximately 17,000 customers without electricity late Monday, a fraction of its 315,000-strong base. The Poughkeepsie-based firm, a subsidiary of Fortis Inc., has successfully returned service to 28,000 homes since Saturday. Meanwhile, Jersey Central Power & Light, owned by FirstEnergy, confirmed that while over 300,000 customers have been reconnected, roughly 40,000 remain without power.

In New York City, Con Edison is urging residents in southeastern Queens to limit energy consumption to stabilize the grid while equipment repairs proceed. The utility had previously restored power to 166,800 affected customers. Outside the energy sector, transit disruptions persist; NJ Transit has resumed operations on most lines, though service on the Gladstone Branch remains suspended between New Providence and Gladstone through the end of the day.
