Power and weather behind internet outages in Edison
PSE&G customers averaged 45 minutes without power in 2024, across 0.57 interruptions each, against 174 minutes for New Jersey as a whole. Cable nodes and fiber cabinets run on batteries that last hours, not days, so a long power cut can take internet down even for homes whose own power has returned. See Edison power outages when both go out together.
Middlesex County logged 304 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, flash flood, and hail. Reports peak in July. Power outages were named in 28 of those storm episodes. Wind, ice and flooding damage poles and buried lines, which is how a storm turns into an internet outage as well as a power outage.
