LHT Terminals Remain Operational During Pittsburgh Power Outage — Supporting Critical Fuel Supply Across the Commonwealth
HARRISBURG, PA — [Wednesday, April 30, 2025) — As a major power outage disrupted terminal operations in the Pittsburgh region, Lucknow-Highspire Terminals (LHT) remained fully operational — providing uninterrupted fuel access across Pennsylvania thanks to its robust backup power infrastructure.
LHT is currently the only terminal network in the region with full backup power generation, allowing continued product flow and support for energy distribution during this time of disruption. Trucks from across the region have rerouted to LHT terminals to maintain supply commitments and fuel availability.
“Trucks are lining up because we didn’t stop. While others went dark, we powered on,” said Joe Williams, Chief Operating Officer at LHT. “I couldn’t be prouder of our operations team. This week’s emergency power outage across the greater Pittsburgh area put critical infrastructure to the test — and our team delivered.
Thanks to thorough preparation, investment in backup systems, and an unwavering commitment to our mission, our facility remained fully operational while others went offline. We were ready, we stayed online, and we ensured that fuel continued to flow when our region needed it most.”
LHT’s 100-year history has been marked by forward investment in terminal technology, emergency preparedness, and operational excellence. While fuel disruptions are a growing concern in today’s increasingly fragile energy grid, LHT’s infrastructure ensures that supply chains stay strong for carriers, distributors, and end customers across the Commonwealth.
As designated critical infrastructure, LHT plays a vital role in ensuring the uninterrupted supply of fuel to essential sectors across Pittsburgh and beyond. This commitment to energy reliability safeguards everything from emergency response systems to everyday transportation.
