Tuesday 12/16 5:00 a.m. Update

Service has been restored to about 223,000 PSNH customers since 9 p.m. on Friday evening, as line crews continue to repair damage inflicted by the worst ice storm in New Hampshire history. As of 4:30 a.m. today, about 96,000 PSNH customers remain without power.
More than 550 tree and line crews pushed hard yesterday to restore power to as many PSNH customers as possible, knowing that the “wintery mix” of rain and snow predicted for much of New Hampshire could challenge restoration efforts today and tomorrow.

This morning, over 400 crews will be fully rested and work to restore power to customers during extremely long shifts. This will be another important day for our customers, crews, call center employees and management team. Every employee is focused on restoring power to our customers. They certainly understand what our customers are going through. Most of our employees and their families have been affected as well during this monumental storm event. Many still do not have power at their own homes.
Outages More Extensive in the Southern and Western Areas of the State

The great progress so far has been made in the North Country and Seacoast areas of the state. The Western, Southern, and Central regions of the state still require more work. Crews in these regions have experienced more extensive damage and widespread outages—particularly in the greater Monadnock area, and the communities of Nashua, Derry, and Hudson.

Efforts Monday focused on restoring major and secondary circuits, as well as clearing wires and electrical equipment off roadways, and reconnecting school facilities throughout the state. Given the sheer magnitude of damage, we continue to believe it will take several more days for power to be restored to all of our customers. Customers without power are encouraged to continue to make alternate arrangements for shelter.
Install Generators Correctly to Avoid Potentially Fatal Hazards

One person has been killed and several others injured due to carbon monoxide exposure related to improper generator installation in New Hampshire during the ice storm and its aftermath. PSNH reminds customers that it is critical for their safety and the safety of line workers repairing the electrical system that portable generators be installed correctly. Generators must be properly ventilated to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

To protect line workers, a generator should only attach to the house wiring isolated from the utility supply. Without isolation, power that is being generated through the home could also feed into the PSNH electrical system and possibly electrocute a utility worker. Please take care when installing a portable generator. For more generator safety tips, visit www.psnh.com/Residential/SafetyCenter/Generators.asp.
