Medical Necessity Process
Medical Equipment Dependent Members
Continued electrical service is particularly important for our members who depend on life support and other medical equipment. PenLight maintains a list of such members. To make sure you are on our list, call Member Services at (253) 857-5950.
Planned Outages
On the occasion of a planned outage (e.g., for needed repairs or upgrades), every attempt is made to contact life support/medical equipment users affected to ensure they are aware of the of the time and duration of the planned outage.
Power Outages
In the event of a power outage, it is important that you have emergency backup power sufficient to operate your life support/medical equipment. Due to system limitations, Peninsula Light Company is not able to provide priority response to life support/medical equipment members in the restoration process. This makes it imperative that members with special needs take precautions in case the power is out for extended periods of time.
To update your information or to be removed from this list, please call Member Services at 253-857-5950. For planned outages, we will make every effort to notify you. Since we cannot provide priority restoration during outages, please ensure you have back-up power available.
