Lakewood Fights FirstEnergy Over Power Failures | Cleveland News

Lakewood, Ohio is in the thick of a power crisis as thousands lose electricity during a scorching heatwave — and the culprit? Not weather, but FirstEnergy’s crumbling infrastructure. Mayor Meghan George is sounding the alarm, calling the company’s repeated failures a pattern of neglect, and she’s pushing state officials to hold them accountable. With Ohio law giving FirstEnergy near-total control over the grid, Lakewood has little leverage — but that hasn’t stopped them from fighting back. Earlier this year, they joined other communities to challenge FirstEnergy’s reliability standards, and the state sided with residents. Now, the city is stepping up: cooling centers, extended pool hours, and emergency aid for those in need. Mayor George is demanding transparency and more action from regulators — because when the heat is on, reliable power isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.
