» Tropical Storm Henri Outage Log

Hurricane/Tropical Storm Henri:

Update (8/23/21 8:51 AM):

After a long day of hard work our electric linemen restored power to the last area hit by the storm a bit after midnight last night. Our crews deserve a lot of gratitude for sure, but so do all the customers in our service territory. Everyone did a great job staying inside during the storm, staying away from downed power lines, reporting outages and understanding that power restoration work takes time. Your patience is always greatly appreciated and it allows us to do our job to the best of our abilities.

Whenever there is a storm we take great pride in being able to restore power within 24 hours, or same day depending on when the storm hits. While we have fully restored power to the service territory we most definitely want to hear from you if you are somehow still without power. If that is the case please call Customer Service at 860-446-4000 and we will get things going in the right direction. Thanks again and stay safe.
