Power had been restored to most Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) customers in Vernon by early Wednesday, May 14,
Nearly 95 percent of those customers were without power early Tuesday evening, May 13.
The outage was caused by a fire at one of JCP&L’s substations, Vernon Mayor Anthony Rossi said.
The utility’s outage map showed that more than 4,100 customers in Vernon had no electricity.
Nearly 600 customers in Hardyston also were without power.
