Episode Details

Byram’s residents are demanding accountability after years of power failures, with the Board of Public Utilities finding JCP&L missed reliability standards for three straight years — culminating in a major storm outage over the Fourth of July. The town is pushing for legal action and a seat at the table to demand transparency and a clear timeline for fixes, while JCP&L defends its billion-dollar upgrades and massive emergency workforce, citing an 80% outage drop in improved areas. Amid this, JCP&L seeks an 8.5% rate hike including a 10-year storm recovery charge — even as Governor Sherrill’s office confirms rates remain frozen and the BPU vows to closely examine the request.
