Combine innovation with smart investment and good things happen.
In our case, a comprehensive installation of smart grid technology over recent years has allowed us to prevent more than 1.3 million customer outages since 2015. That’s a major milestone and one we believe can’t be equaled by any other electric utility in the country.
What is smart grid? It’s a combination of state-of-the-art automated sensors and switches, coupled with an advanced software system, that acts instantly to reroute power around a trouble location and reduce the outage footprint to the smallest possible area. Our lineworkers then respond to make the necessary repairs.
A million is a huge number, but what does it mean? We estimate that customers have avoided a total of 100 million minutes in the dark since 2015. That’s 190 years of time!
This achievement demonstrates how we’re using technology, innovation, and data to deliver more for you, our customers. It’s how we reliably power your home, business, and community each day. That’s peace of mind and value for your energy dollar.
We’re going to keep imagining, keep innovating and keep making our grid stronger, smarter, and more reliable and resilient. Here’s to the next million!
does customer service ask for your ssn.# if you dont have your account # with you?
Good Afternoon Rick, When setting up an account with PPL, we require a social security number. If a social security number is not provided, our system automatically charges a security deposit and requires positive identification for the account to be activated. Thanks for reaching out to us!
I always brag about how short our outages are. You should advertise in Texas!

I’m trying to switch back to PPL’s Electric Default Service Plan. My electric supplier is NRG. I’ve called them. I’ve emailed them and no response. Can you help me switch? Account #28911-15023
Good Afternoon Erin, We mailed a letter to request that you call to speak to a Customer Service Representative weekdays between 8am-5pm. We can remove NRG as the supplier on your account with the understanding that PPL is not responsible for cancellation or any other fee you may incur. Most accounts with a Generation Supplier have a contract that is created with provisions when the customers chooses a Supplier. This is the reason we always recommend that you cancel your contract with your supplier. Thank you for reaching out to us!
I wasn’t going to post anything but we lose power all the time! Either fuses or free limbs. There has to be something that can be done. The constant outages have ruined our thermostat from surges. Please help!! I’m in the Finland Rd area.
Good Afternoon Brittany, Please contact our Service Team to issue an investigation at 1-800-342-5775 weekdays 8am-5pm (Say Power Problems to get to the correct Department.) The Representative will take you information and issue an investigation. Thank you!
Bendiciones

Buenas tardes Rivera. Para encender el servicio eléctrico, deberá enviar por fax sus dos formas de identificación (una debe ser una identificación con foto) al 484-634-3484. Por favor, haga referencia a su número de cuenta de factura en el fax. ¡Gracias!
Good Afternoon Judith, We are sorry to hear of this misfortune. We recommend that you reach out to your Homeowners Insurance Company regarding your coverage. Please take care!
I am reporting that there is a fallen tree trunk resting on a power line on Sherwood Forest Road, Stroudsburg PA 18360 (about 1-2 miles down the road from Neola Road)
Could you please remove or cut this tree trunk as I fear if there’s more weight placed on the tree trunk when the snow comes, it might cause a power outage due to the power line being damaged.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Good morning Rosa, Please call our Service Team with your tree trim request weekdays 8am-5pm at 1-800-342-5775 (say tree trimming). The Representative will take your information to issue a report and assign the correct crew to investigate. We trim or remove trees interfering with our wires from pole to pole, not pole to home. Thank you!
My electricity went out. I went to your website to report it. One option was to text “outage” to “TEXTPPL”. FYI, this is a Landline! Fix this, it’s ridiculous! I sent comments via your website, option 2. What’s going on?
Good Afternoon Kelly, Please know “TEXTPPL” is incorrect. Please correctly Text “outage” to “TXTPPL” or report your outage online under https://pplelectric.com/site/Outages-and-Issues. If you want to stay updated on your outage, adjust your alert preferences under http://www.pplelectric.com/alerts. Whenever outages occur, we’ll do our best to keep you informed. Stay safe!
