I dunno, I'm from New Jersey. I can tell you about New Jersey though. Our two main providers of electric and gas utilities are PSEG and JCPL. Putting aside that they're both major corporations and those suck, JCPL also sucks at providing the service it basically forces you to get (because there's obviously no real alternatives), and PSEG is pretty good. I have not had a legitimate (>2 hours) power outage since I bought my home 11+ years ago. Regardless of my good fortune, we experience struggles in presumably the same fashion as much of the country: the hots are hotter and shit is expensive AF.
I'm sorry none of this is relevant.
