How long does it take for PSEG to turn power back on?

When can PSEG service be shut down?

During the period of November 15 to March 15, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities has a written policy known as the Winter Termination Program. This policy states that regulated electric or gas utility companies can't cease service for certain households.

Find out how the PSEG equal payment plan works. The amount of your Equal Payment Plan is calculated by subtracting the energy consumption from the previous year into 12 equal monthly payments. Every 6 months, your account will be reviewed. When the plan becomes effective, your Equal Payment Plan will be displayed on your bill.

Eventually, you might also wonder, "How long do power outages last?"

While most power outages are over within minutes of their onset, some may last for days or even weeks. High winds, freezing rain and/or sleetstorms can cause power outages that can damage equipment and power lines.

Why was the power cut?

Power outages are most often caused by severe weather conditions like lightning, wind, ice or extreme cold. Lightning can cause damage to electrical equipment. Wind and ice can also knock branches and trees onto lines and equipment. Other causes of outages include animal and vehicle accidents.
