More folks are getting their power back on but CT still in the lead with 381,561. Day #4. NJ is almost at 200,000??
NJ is doing something right... 1.2 million down to 211,000 in 72hrs. Almost a million people back on! Good job @PSEGdelivers ..
Just got this text from Eversource.... They don't even have restoration times available yet and they left a message saying by Tuesday majority will be back on.
"Eversource: All substantially restored before 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. Town times by Saturday"
Monopolies tend to not care about customer experience.
There is an easy solution. Fire these clowns. Replace the electric utility. PSEG has done a phenomenal job in NJ, almost 85% of homes have been restored. 1.2mm households at peak were without power in NJ, now below 200k. We don’t need an enterprise that had to change its name from falling down during the last series of storms and is now playing games / grandstanding over the state reversing rate increases. Eversource has outsourced all line crews- why do they deserve a delivery charge increase? Let’s start a campaign - contact your town and state reps.
“Our overall electric system reliability performance in 2019 improved by 26 percent; customer power interruptions were on average 21.6 months apart,” Judge wrote in a shareholder message sent two months before their annual meeting in May.
That streak ended spectacularly Tuesday, with the lights going out on more than 800,000 Eversource customers in Connecticut during Tropical Storm Isaias. That was quickly followed by accusations of a failure to prepare and regulators opening an investigation into the staffing and procedures of Connecticut’s dominant provider of electricity, as well as the smaller United Illuminating"
I am out of state now and did not lose power even though I am surrounded by huge trees. I do have underground utilities. When I lived in Ct U I, the electric utility for my area, cut down every tree in the neighborhood, leaving the streets looking horrible. Huge stumps were left behind. Despite this, my old neighborhood lost power and only got it back today, 3 days later. Eversource clear-cut nearby streets in Branford when I lived nearby. As of last night, about half of Branford had no power. These companies spend tens of millions of dollars cutting down healthy trees, and electric power is still lost when a storm hits.

I thought you would've been on Eversource's side considering you believed this was a non-event
Town across the border has had power since Thursday night. Thinking IMBY will get it a week later than them. LOL
