How do I report a JCP&L power outage?
Report outages to Jersey Central Power & Light directly — only the utility can dispatch crews and confirm restoration times. Call 1-888-544-4877 or use their online outage center. For downed lines, fire, or any life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.
My power is out but my neighbors have power — is it JCP&L?
Probably not. If the rest of your street has power, the problem is usually on your own service line, meter, or main panel rather than a JCP&L utility-wide outage. A licensed electrician can diagnose and fix in-home electrical faults; an electrician cannot restore a utility-side outage. Use the checklist on this site to tell the two apart safely.
