Thu May 01 18:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Duquesne Light Battles to Restore Power Amid Impending Storm
**Pittsburgh, PA** – Over 100,000 Duquesne Light (DLC) customers remain without power in western Pennsylvania following Tuesday’s severe storms. While over 60% of power has been restored, DLC is bracing for another round of strong winds (up to 60 mph), heavy rain, and potential hail and tornadoes, predicted by the National Weather Service for Thursday. This new storm system threatens to further delay power restoration, with some customers potentially facing outages until May 6th.
DLC has deployed roughly 400 additional personnel from neighboring utility contractors to assist in the ongoing restoration efforts, working around the clock. However, the impending storm necessitates a continued focus on safety. DLC urges residents to avoid downed power lines, broken poles, and any objects near or touching downed wires, including puddles. Customers are advised to report downed wires or outages via DLC’s emergency number (888-393-7000) or their website.
