Employees work year-round to improve reliability during extreme weather
PSEG Long Island is closely monitoring and ready for the forecasted weather expected to affect our service territory over the next few days. Snow and rain are expected later tonight into tomorrow, and a strong storm system will impact the area this weekend. These effects will include strong, gusty winds, heavy rainfall and the chance for accumulating snow. PSEG Long Island is performing system checks on critical transmission and distribution equipment and logistics checks to ensure the availability of critical materials, fuel and other supplies.
“Providing reliable electric during extreme temperatures is a PSEG Long Island priority. We work throughout the year to prepare for extreme weather and to make sure the electric system is reliable,” said John O’Connell, vice president of Transmission & Distribution at PSEG Long Island. “We are continually trimming trees away from power lines, enhancing technology to detect outages and working on FEMA reliability projects across the service territory — all to ensure greater reliability and to help prevent outages during storms.”
A full complement of personnel will be on hand to deal with any outages caused by the severe weather. Contractors, including tree crews, will also be available to assist the utility’s own skilled workforce if necessary.
At PSEG Long Island, employee and customer safety is first and foremost. Remember, safety is always the only choice.
Be prepared and stay safe during extreme weather:
