About the utility
What is JCP&L?
Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), a FirstEnergy company, serves more than 1.1 million customers across central and northern New Jersey. As your delivery utility, JCP&L maintains the lines and restores power during outages — but you have the right to shop for a different electricity supplier under NJ’s energy choice law.
ImportantJCP&L will still respond to outages, read your meter, and deliver your power — only the supplier portion of your bill changes.
