PSNH says power back on for virtually all NH customers

By Staff | Sep 3, 2011

The power is back on in New Hampshire.

PSNH said Thursday that by midnight Wednesday, it had restored power to virtually all of the 125,000 customers who lost power following Tropical Storm Irene.

The finished restoration effort makes New Hampshire the first New England state to get power back to all residents, according to the company.

On Wednesday, line crews focused on several dozen customers who were still without power in hard-hit areas near Wakefield and Milton, including a number of remote camps and vacation homes, the company said.

PSNH crews are still busy, though, with trucks dispatched to Connecticut to help restoration efforts there.

There were still 138,000 customers without power in Connecticut as of Friday, according to PSNH.

The company plans to release a more detailed report on its efforts to restore power in the wake of the storm.
