JEA reported Saturday morning that crews have restored power to 267,972 customers since the beginning of the storm, with efforts ongoing until power is fully restored for all affected customers.
JEA is now in Phase 2 of its restoration process, focusing on repairs by electric circuits. Restoring a full circuit can bring power back to approximately 2,500 homes before moving to the next circuit. Priority is given to repairs that will restore power to most customers.
Customers are encouraged to report outages through jea.com/outage.
There have been no sanitary sewer overflows since the storm began, and crews will continue to address any water or sewer service interruptions.
JEA expects full restoration to continue through early next week and will provide updates throughout the process. The utility asks for patience as crews work to restore services.
Several utilities in Northeast Georgia and Southeast Georgia have outage maps where you can monitor power outages, as well as estimated resolution times.
