Power Watch-Warning

Keeping the lights on is CL&P's #1 priority

To provide updates on New England's power supply, CL&P will work with ISO New England, which oversees the region's electric power system. For information, visit ISO New England or CONVEX. If supplies become critical, you'll hear energy advisories issued from ISO New England on radio and TV public service announcements to alert you to severe power conditions:

  • Power Watch

    Asks customers to turn off all unnecessary electrical appliances, air conditioning and lights during the peak hours of 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Power Warning

    Urges customers to immediately turn off all unnecessary air conditioning, lights and electrical equipment as a significant reduction in power usage is necessary to avoid overload of the electrical system.
