About FirstEnergy Power Outages
FirstEnergy is a holding company whose operating companies serve Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, and more. The bill may say Ohio Edison, Met-Ed, Penelec, West Penn Power, Mon Power, or Potomac Edison even when our provider table lists FirstEnergy. Ice, wet snow, and Appalachian wind are the long restoration events. JCP&L is catalogued separately.
Users do not pick FirstEnergy. We total power reports from states where FirstEnergy appears. We are not FirstEnergy.
How to Report a FirstEnergy Outage
Open firstenergycorp.com/outages_safety.html and choose the operating company on the bill, or use that company's outage map and app. Report by phone using the number on that bill. Restoration ETRs are per operating company. This page is not a merged GIS of every FirstEnergy OpCo.
Why FirstEnergy Power Goes Out
In Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, and related FirstEnergy operating companies (JCP&L has its own hub), an electric outage is usually local distribution, not a collapse of the bulk grid. Typical FirstEnergy patterns:
Pennsylvania and West Virginia ice loading on hardwoods is a multi-day FirstEnergy restoration pattern.
Summer cells take suburban Ohio Edison laterals down in a narrow path.
Ridgeline winds in Maryland and West Virginia drop trees onto mountain circuits with slow access.
Reporting to the wrong FirstEnergy company delays the crew. Use the exact name on the bill.
Before You Call FirstEnergy
- Read the operating company name on the bill (not only 'FirstEnergy').
- Open that company's outage map from FirstEnergy's outages and safety page.
- See whether neighbors on the same tap are dark.
- Report in that company's app or by its outage phone number.
- After ice in the hills, assume road access can delay the official ETR.
