Over 9,000 customers on the Barrier Island are currently without power due to a substation fire affecting areas including Mantoloking, Toms River, and Lavallette. Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) is actively working to assess the issue and restore service as safely and quickly as possible. We’ll share updates as they become available. Please use caution, limit unnecessary travel, and report downed wires to JCP&L or 911.
