HARRISBURG — One million more Pennsylvanians experienced electric service disruptions in 2024 than the year prior as strong storms, downed trees and aging infrastructure reset the record for reportable power outages.
The annual Electric Reliability Report from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission found that there were 71 reportable outages last year, topping the 63 outages from 2021 and surging beyond the counts of 49 in 2023 and 42 in 2022.
