• What we learned about FirstEnergy's Lakewood fixes before outages returned (cleveland.com) — Lakewood households hit by repeated power outages are seeing regulators push FirstEnergy and CEI toward broader inspections, underground cable work, and potential penalties over reliability problems. The article explains what's already been fixed in Lakewood, which transformer projects remain unfinished, and how new failures this summer exposed deeper capacity and equipment issues that could shape future upgrades.
