Eversource has issued a statement saying the power company estimates a vast majority of customers to have power back by Sunday at 11 p.m.
They say crews continue working around-the-clock, facing challenging conditions to restore power to customers impacted by Wednesday afternoon’s devastating snow storm. Helicopters are being used to identify remote damage areas and in some locations, heavy equipment, including bulldozers are needed to access repair locations. The vast majority of Eversource customers in Connecticut currently without power will have it restored by Sunday at 11 p.m., with many being restored before that.
United Illuminating, a subsidiary of Avangrid, Inc. says it has mobilized employees and launched a vigorous effort to restore service to customers left without power due to the winter storm.
