United Electric has 1,689 members without power. Crews are still working extensively on the Clearfield County side of our system. Outages are mainly due to trees outside the rights-of-way that wind brought down through our utility lines with broken poles.

We continue to have 1 substation (Goshen) with a power supplier outage at this time. We have been in contact with Penelec throughout the restoration effort, but there is extensive damage beyond the power supplier connection that we are working on.

As a result of the storm, Clearfield County has several places available to the public to charge cellphones and assist with lifesaving equipment, as well as shelters if needed.

Frenchy’s (State Route 879 Frenchville)-extension cords only available-not manned

Karthaus Firehall (10 Hurxthal Street, Karthaus)-open and manned

Bethany Retreat Center (1031 Germania Road, Frenchville)-open, manned and shelter available

Madera Firehall (2720 Main Street, Madera)-open, manned and shelter available

Other substation areas United linemen are working are Graham, Sigel, Pike, Oak Hill, and Laurel Ridge.

2 crews from Warren Electric Cooperative (Warren, PA) and 3 crews from Adams Electric Cooperative (Gettysburg, PA) are onsite and attempting to restore outages, as well as contractor crews. All crews will continue to work throughout the night. 

The public is advised to stay clear of any downed power lines, as there is always the possibility that they may be energized.

Please continue to check our online outage map below for information about locations specific to townships and counties. If you have not reported your outage or you have information that will aid our employees’ efforts to restore power, please call our outage line 800-262-8959.

We appreciate your patience while all 52 United employees work to restore power to our membership.
