(Allegheny County, PA) Yesterday evening at 5 p.m. was supposed to be when a meeting in Allegheny County was to be held by a Duquesne Light committee for a storm response regarding the storms that took place in Western Pennsylvania on April 29th, 2025 that caused power outages. However, according to Pennsylvania State Representative Abigail Salisbury, Duquesne Light canceled this meeting two hours before it was supposed to begin. Salisbury is a representative of the 34th District of Pennsylvania and she confirms that this cancellation is the second time that a meeting for customers was skipped by Duquesne Light Company because she claims that a meeting in Wlikins Township in July of 2025 that she arranged for constituents to ask direct questions  was dropped out by Duquesne Light. Allegheny County formed the Special Committee on Emergency Preparedness and After-Action Review to respond to these storms on April 29th, 2025 which left about 400,000 residents in Western Pennsylvania without power. September 17th, 2025 is the rescheduled date for this Duquesne Light storm committee response meeting that was canceled yesterday and there is no specific reason for that cancellation at this time.
