“As of 2 p.m., crews continue to work on the final approximately 900 power outages,” the company said.
“Eversource is reaching out directly to those customers through the channel of their choice – email, text or phone – to provide an update on the restoration progress and let them know where they can find information.”
In some cases, Eversource said wires and poles owned by Optimum and Frontier must be cleared before their crews can begin their repair operations.
Meanwhile, state and local officials repeated demands for Eversource and United Illuminating to provide a full accounting of their storm response.
The state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) has opened investigations into their reactions to the storm.
In addition, Attorney General William Tong is pushing to be officially included in the PURA investigation, saying: “I will use the full weight of my authority throughout this investigation to hold Eversource and UI accountable for this stunning failure.”
