Over 247,000 PECO Customers Lose Power Across Philadelphia Region

Severe thunderstorms that struck the Philadelphia region on June 19, 2025, caused widespread power outages affecting hundreds of thousands of PECO customers across multiple counties. The storms, with wind gusts exceeding 55 mph, downed trees and power lines, leading to outages for about 247,293 PECO customers, including nearly 2,500 in Tredyffrin and Easttown, and nearly 8,000 in Marple and Newtown townships. Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware counties were among the hardest hit, each with tens of thousands of customers losing power. Additional outages affected areas served by Delmarva Power and Public Service Enterprise Group in Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey. Despite a tornado warning issued for parts of the region, no twisters were confirmed, and the storm helped reduce a heat wave temporarily. PECO had warned residents beforehand to prepare for the severe weather's impact, including potential downed trees and power lines, and restoration efforts were ongoing.
