March Windstorm Event

Thank you for your patience while we work around the clock to restore power in the community. Crews are out in full force to make repairs to our electric system. We have brought in additional crews to help us assess damage and restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

Intense snowfall today has caused new outages and challenging restoration conditions, including road closures and access issues, in many parts of our service area. Our crews are working through these challenges and will remain at work until every customer is restored. Persistent snowfall is accumulating on trees, leading to repeated branch and tree failures that are blocking established access routes and damaging recently repaired spans of lines. Helicopter patrols remain unavailable because of weather, forcing reliance on foot access where conditions are worsening.
