(Newark, NJ - June 6, 2025) As graduation season kicks off across New Jersey, PSE&G is raising awareness about the potential hazards posed by metallic (Mylar) balloons. The utility company reports that the average number of incidents involving Mylar balloons and electric equipment nearly doubles in June. These balloons, if released into the air, can drift into power lines or substation equipment due to their metallic coating, which conducts electricity. Such incidents can lead to power outages, downed wires, and even fires or injuries. PSE&G advises celebrants to keep balloons securely tied down and never release them outdoors. Additionally, they urge individuals not to attempt retrieving balloons caught in power lines, instead contacting PSE&G for assistance.
