PECO has postponed a planned power outage for some residents in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia citing the high heat index expected for Thursday.
PECO has postponed its planned outage that was set to take place in Port Richmond “due to the high heat index forecasted for tomorrow,” according to the company.
It all started when PECO called some residents and told them their power would be shut off for eight hours on Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It raised concerns since it is expected to hit 90 degrees and it’s expected to feel even hotter. The Philadelphia region has also been experiencing a heat wave for the past seven days.
NBC10 reached out to PECO and eventually heard back from them where they said they would postpone the outage.
