With Pittsburgh preparing to host one of the biggest events in its history, we’re focused on safety and resilience. Our crews have been making necessary underground preparations in and around the Draft area — another way we’re showing up for yinz and the city we call home.

This week, @DuquesneLight & @CathCharPgh hosted our first #BuildingResilientCommunities event! We provided neighbors impacted by recent windstorms with food, gift cards, and baby supplies, plus help signing up for assistance programs.

Severe weather is expected this evening. Now’s a good time to prepare. - Talk through your outage plan - Charge phones/devices - Build an emergency kit - Sign up for outage alerts: bit.ly/41uKP70. We’ve increased staffing and resources and are monitoring the forecast.

We took one of our electric vehicles to the Allegheny County Fire Academy for a vehicle rescue class — so first responders could get hands‑on experience with an EV. As more EVs hit the road, it’s important that firefighters know what they’re working with in real‑world situations.

While restoration work is finishing up, here's what’s been accomplished so far since the storm. Behind every number is a person doing everything they can to get the lights back on. Thank you for your patience and please know we’re not stopping until everyone is safely restored.

If the recent storm damage affected your meter base, service cable, or service panel, a licensed electrician must make the necessary repairs before service can safely be restored. If this applies to your home, you would have received a notification at your residence.

We know being without power is tough. If you need support, @unitedwaySWPA 's 211 hotline is available to help. Other resources, including the @BeaverCountyYMCA and @PghFoodBank can be found on our website: bit.ly/4sLDPOQ. Stay Safe!

Strong Winds: 0. Crews: 1. With restoration efforts, nothing comes easy — especially when you’re working with high wind gusts. A huge thank you to our hardworking crews who continue to show up, push through and get the job done safely.

If you’re looking for quick answers regarding the storm and some extra help during restorations, visit: bit.ly/4rDqQOr. You will also find the locations of the participating @GiantEagle stores offering free water and ice. The distribution ends today, Monday March 16.

@ScottMerrihew Can you DM us your exact address?

@DuquesneLight Hey @DuquesneLight do you guys have a phone number for families with young children that haven’t had power for 2 days and have been given zero updates?

We're at 80% restoration after Friday night's windstorms. Most customers are expected to be restored by 10 p.m. Monday. Some outages may take longer due to extensive damage or private‑property repairs. Forecasted high winds may also affect work. bit.ly/3N4TBp3

Contact with electrical equipment can be deadly. Exercise extreme caution if you are near electrical infrastructure. Please give crews plenty of space and stay away from downed power lines and broken poles. NEVER drive over fallen wires that may be laying across roadways.

@bportnoe Hi, can you please send us a direct message with the service address and contact information so that we may assist?

@DuquesneLight why has a senior care home been without power since Friday? Why are priority restoration facilities not being addressed with priority?

@ImSprung25 Can you please DM us your exact address?

@DuquesneLight Here is cable just hanging out. Should I try to connect myself?

@DuquesneLight There were 4 DLC trucks fixing all our neighbors power yesterday morning and the left our power coiled up in the front yard and left.. What gives? My 10 week old woke up in a 55 degree bedroom… Seems like it should be quick fix when they were here??

@PenguinPete7 Can you please DM us your exact address?

@DuquesneLight My neighborhood got cleared off of the map, but we still are without power. We've tried to re-report our outages but the map still isn't showing the outage.

Hundreds of mutual assistance crews from around the country and even Canada are joining our efforts to restore customers following yesterday’s high-wind event. We’re grateful for their partnership and dedication!

Why no ETR yet? After severe storms, crews must first safely assess damage before sharing reliable restoration times. Widespread outages and high winds can slow assessments and repairs. We’ll share ETRs as soon as it’s safe and accurate to do so. prez.ly/XW8d
