Power Restored To Thousands Of Teaneck Residents: PSE&G Spokesperson

TEANECK, NJ — Public Service Enterprise Group said power is back on for thousands of customers in Teaneck, after equipment failures, at least one of which was caused by a fire, occurred, according to utility spokesperson Rebecca Mazzarella.

"Crews worked throughout the night and have restored power to all of the customers," Mazzarella said late Thursday night.

Approximately 4,800 PSE&G customers lost power after a fire at the Teaneck station Wednesday afternoon. Shortly afterward, a nearby underground vault experienced "multiple equipment failures," and approximately 800 customers were without power while crews worked to fix the facilities, the spokesperson said.

The cause of the second equipment failure is under investigation, Mazzarella said.

"We understand our customers depend on our service now more than ever and we want our customers to know we are committed to restoring their power as quickly and safely as possible," she added.
