What Happens When You Don’t Have A Whole Home Automatic Backup Generator in Newark, New Jersey?
As New Jersey’s largest city, Newark carries a lot of exposure when severe weather rolls through, from nor’easters barreling up the coast to the summer thunderstorms that regularly knock out power across a dense urban grid. Add in the demands of a large, aging electrical system serving hundreds of thousands of residents, and it doesn’t take a hurricane to put a Newark neighborhood in the dark.
Newark homeowners got a firsthand look at worst-case scenarios in October 2012, when Superstorm Sandy’s storm surge flooded PSE&G substations along the Passaic River and the Hackensack River, disrupting service to customers across Essex County. Statewide, more than 2.5 million homes and businesses lost power, and PSE&G alone reported roughly 1.7 million of its 2.2 million customers affected.

Power in Every Season
Newark’s location along the Passaic River and Newark Bay put it squarely in the path of Sandy’s storm surge. Flooded substations meant that even homeowners well away from the waterfront lost power. The outage wasn’t about water reaching their block, it was about the grid infrastructure that fed their block going dark.
If your power went out in Newark during Sandy, chances are it stayed out for days. No heat, no lights, no working refrigerator, and for many households, no reliable way to charge a phone or stay in touch with family. Port Newark and the surrounding industrial corridor, a major regional employer, also felt the disruption, which rippled into the daily routines of workers and residents across the city.
Newark doesn’t need a named storm to lose power, either. Downed lines from summer thunderstorms, ice accumulation in winter, and routine equipment failures on an urban grid all cause shorter, more frequent outages throughout the year. More Newark homeowners are choosing not to wait for the next one, and instead installing an automatic, whole-home backup generator from Canter Power Systems.
