Nov 6, 2025 | Storms and Outages
Strong winds caused extensive damage across our system, resulting in more than 88,000 outages. Our crews continue to work as safely and efficiently as possible and have restored power to more than 74,400 customers as of about 2 p.m. today.
We know how difficult it is to be without power. That’s why we have hundreds of personnel responding to the storm, providing both field-based and back-office emergency response operations across our service territory. This includes lineworkers, foresters, damage assessors and call center staff. We also have crews from outside our region assisting PPL Electric crews in the restoration efforts.
Since the storm began, there have been nearly 1,000 locations of damage on our system. We’re assessing remaining damage and have assigned estimated restoration times for areas in our territory. Because of the scope of repairs, full restoration will continue through Friday, although many customers will get power restored sooner.
Here are some ways you can stay safe and informed while our restoration efforts are underway:
Stay connected:
Stay safe:
- Remember, should you encounter a downed wire at any time, assume it’s energized and stay away. Report downed wires to PPL Electric or local emergency response agencies.
- Never operate a portable generator in an enclosed area, like a garage, where deadly carbon-monoxide fumes could accumulate.
- Always use flashlights instead of candles as they can start fires.
- Turn off appliances that were on when the power went off.
- Create alternate plans if you have a medical condition that relies on electricity or call 9-1-1 for assistance.
- Check on elderly family members, neighbors and others who may need assistance during an outage period.
- For your safety and ours, please keep a safe distance from our crews.
Stay warm:
- Keep warm air in by using your doors as infrequently as possible, and close off unoccupied rooms.
- Close blinds to keep warm air in.
Our crews will not stop until every customer has their power restored. For updates, visit pplelectric.com/outage.
