NEW YORK – Con Edison is asking customers in certain areas of Yonkers, Pelham, Mount Vernon, Bronxville, Eastchester, New Rochelle and the town of Mamaroneck in Westchester, and in certain areas of the Northeast Bronx and City Island, to conserve energy while crews repair equipment. Con Edison has reduced voltage in the area by 8 percent to protect equipment and maintain service as crews make repairs.

The Westchester area is roughly bounded by the Bronx on the south, parts of Eastchester and New Rochelle on the north, parts of Yonkers and Tuckahoe on the east, and parts of New Rochelle and Mamaroneck on the west. The affected area also includes some customers in the northeast part of the Bronx and on City Island.

The total customer count is 89,000.

Con Edison has asked customers in these areas not to use energy-intensive appliances such as washers, dryers, and microwaves until crews complete repairs. The company also asks customers to limit unnecessary use of air conditioning. If you have two air conditioners, use only one and set it to the highest comfortable temperature.

The company also asks that customers refrain from charging electric vehicles in these neighborhoods, except when necessary, while repairs are made.

Customers can report outages and check service restoration status at www.conEd.com/reportoutage, or with our mobile app for iOS or Android devices, or by calling 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633). When calling, customers should report whether their neighbors also have lost power. Customers who report outages will receive updates with their estimated restoration times as they become available.

Customers can follow Con Edison on X, Instagram or like us on Facebook for general outage updates, safety tips and storm preparation information.

The equipment problems in the area have no effect on the rest of the Con Edison system. The company is in communication with Westchester County Emergency Management.
