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.
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.
