What do I do if my power is out?

Accepted Answer

Check Atlantic City Electric’s outage map first. If your home isn’t on it, report the outage online or call Atlantic City Electric at 1 (800) 833-7476. If you see a downed wire, stay far away from it and call Atlantic City Electric right away.

Question 4

Can I choose a different electricity supplier?

Yes. In New Jersey you can buy your electricity supply from another company. Atlantic City Electric still delivers it, bills you for delivery and fixes outages. You can find licensed suppliers on NJ Power Switch (nj.gov/njpowerswitch).
