PSE&G New Jersey Power Outage Map and Status

Open the PSE&G New Jersey Outage Map

Open {site}, choose Outages & Leaks, and select View Outage Map. Make sure the page identifies PSE&G in New Jersey before entering any information. This avoids confusing the utility with a similarly named company serving another state.

The official PSE&G New Jersey power outage map opens with a statewide view. Look for the location search near the top of the map. Outage markers or shaded areas show places where service interruptions have been reported. A summary view may organize information by county or municipality.

The PSE&G NJ power outage map may also show when its information was last updated. The map is useful for seeing conditions across an area, but it may not display an individual marker for every affected home. One marker can represent a group of customers spread across several streets.

Check an Outage Near Your Address

1. Open the map’s search field or magnifying-glass control.
2. Enter your full street address, town, or ZIP code.
3. Select the matching location and zoom in if necessary.
4. Tap or select a nearby outage marker to open its information box.

The information box may include the number of customers affected, when PSE&G first learned of the outage, its reported cause, an outage identifier, crew or job status, and estimated restoration information. Some details may be unavailable while conditions are being assessed.

If your address does not appear, search for the municipality or ZIP code and move around the map manually. New streets or developments may not be recognized immediately by the map’s address system. If no marker appears near your home but your power is out, report the outage directly. Do not assume that a neighbor has already reported it.

Understand the Map and Restoration Status

“Customers affected” is the estimated number of customer locations connected to a particular outage. It does not necessarily equal the number of people without power. “Customers served” in a summary is the wider number of PSE&G customers in that area, not the outage total.

“First reported” or “start time” indicates when PSE&G first learned about the interruption. It may not be the exact moment electricity stopped at every affected address. “Cause” gives the known reason when one is available.

Crew and job status describe the utility’s progress. A status may indicate that PSE&G is reviewing conditions, assigning personnel, traveling to the area, or performing restoration work. Status wording can change as new field information arrives.

An estimated restoration time is an estimate based on the information currently available. It is not a guaranteed deadline and may be revised after crews inspect damage or conditions change. If no estimate is shown, PSE&G may still be assessing or reassessing the outage. Check again later for an updated PSEG NJ outage status or PSEG New Jersey outage status.

Report a Power Outage to PSE&G

What to Do If the Map Does Not Load

First, refresh the page. If the map remains blank, close the browser tab, return to {site}, and reopen the Outage Map from the Outages & Leaks section.

• Switch between Wi-Fi and cellular data if one connection is weak.
• Turn off a browser content blocker temporarily if it prevents the map from appearing.
• Try a current version of another common browser.
• Clear only the site’s cached data if an old or incomplete map keeps returning.
• Use another phone, tablet, or computer if one is available.
• Check My Account or MyAlerts for service-address updates instead of relying only on the public map.

During a widespread outage, connectivity may be limited and map information may take longer to appear. If you still cannot load the PSEG outage map New Jersey page, use the verified text or phone contact shown above the article to report the outage or request status information.

Power-Line and Electrical Safety

Stay well away from every downed or sagging wire. Treat it as energized even if it is not moving, sparking, or making noise. Keep children and pets away, and do not touch the line, a person in contact with it, or nearby trees, fences, vehicles, or standing water.

Never drive over a fallen wire. If a wire lands on your vehicle, remain inside unless fire or another immediate danger makes staying there unsafe. Warn other people not to approach.

Report downed wires and electrical hazards through PSE&G’s verified emergency contact. Call emergency services immediately when there is a fire, serious injury, trapped person, or other immediate threat to life. The PSE&G NJ outage map is an information tool; it is not a substitute for emergency help.
