PSEG Long Island is committed to working safely to restore potential power outages and provide excellent service

(UNIONDALE, N.Y. – Oct. 9, 2025) PSEG Long Island is prepared for a nor’easter that is expected to bring rain and potentially high winds into the service area on Sunday. Peak gusts could reach up to 55 mph in some areas Sunday into Monday evening. The winds can be damaging, causing wires to come down, tree limbs to break, and outages.

PSEG Long Island has personnel ready to respond safely and as quickly as possible throughout the storm. 

“PSEG Long Island has been monitoring this storm, and we are prepared for potential impacts on the system this weekend. We have performed system and logistic checks, and have a full complement of personnel who will mobilize for restoration in foul weather conditions. Our crews will work to safely restore any outages as quickly as conditions will allow.”

Customers are asked to note the important storm safety tips below and to visit psegliny.com/safetyandreliability/stormsafety for additional storm preparation information.

Customer Safety:

• Downed wires should always be considered “live.” Please stay as far away as possible from them, and do not drive over or stand near them. To report a downed wire, call PSEG Long Island’s 24-hour Electric Service number at 800-490-0075 or call 911.
• Electric current passes easily through water. If you encounter a pool of standing water, stop, back up and choose another path. 
• Never use a generator or any gasoline-powered engine inside your home, basement, or garage or less than 20 feet from any window, door, or vent. Use an extension cord that is more than 20 feet long to keep the generator at a safe distance.
