PSE&G, New Jersey's largest power provider, said Mondayabout 78 percent of its 1.7 million customers affected by HurricaneSandy have had power restored. However, 375,000 customers(home and businesses) still have no power.

“We have now restored 95 percent of our customers in ourSouthern region that includes portions of Burlington, Mercer,Camden and Gloucester counties,” said PSE&G. “As work iscompleted, crews in South Jersey will be reassigned to work inother parts of the state.

Although there are five substations that remain without power,all in Hudson County, PSE&G expects them to be re-energized onMonday.

Meanwhile, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed anExecutive Order 107 on Friday pertaining to damages caused byHurricane Sandy. The executive order directs lenders to be flexibleon due dates for loan payments and on late fees.

“Such flexibility is appropriate due to the difficultythat many individuals continue to face following the devastation ofSandy,” the executive order reads.
