We are getting reports of significant power outages across the south/central portions of Ocean County. JCP&L is reporting 7,000+ customers currently in the dark. The outage is affecting customers in Lacey, Beachwood, & Berkeley. OCSN does not currently know the full reason for the widespread power outages, but JCP&L is aware of the situation.

Early reports indicate possibly a blown transformer in Lacey near Deerhead Lake. JCP&L crews are working to make repairs. For additional information, please call JCP&L at 1-800-662-3115. Do NOT call 911 or Police- they aren’t the electric company.
