How We Restore Electricity
When our team comes to turn the power back on, here’s what to expect, step by step.
-
1. We focus on public safety and clear away any downed power lines.
-
2. We check for any damage to our system and assign crews and equipment to the area to begin repairs.
-
3. We restore power to critical facilities, such as hospitals, nursing homes, and pumping stations, first.
-
4. We fix lines and equipment to bring power back to the most people as quickly as possible, and restore the rest as soon as we can after that.
Note: Repairs take time. It may be difficult for us to tell you exactly when your service will be restored. Recovery after a severe storm could take days or weeks.
