Severe storms this week have left hundreds of both Duquesne Light and First Energy customers without power for several days.

On Thursday, Duquesne Light said that after Monday’s storms, their crews as well as mutual assistance crews from Ohio and West Virginia were working to restore power to 650 customers.

On Friday morning, about 50 customers were without power, according to the company’s website.

All Duquesne Light customers are expected to have power by 9 p.m. on Friday, June 21. A majority of customers are expected to be restored soon, the company said.

Customers who remain without power should consider alternate arrangements to stay cool and safe, especially during this historic heat wave, Duquesne Light said.
