National Grid Restores Power to More than 80,000 Rhode Island Customers Affected by Severe Storms National Grid Restores Power to More than 80,000 Rhode Island Customers Affected by Severe StormsCrews working around the clock to complete restorationAugust 5, 2015, PROVIDENCE, R.I. - National Grid crews working since yesterday morning have restored power to more than 80,000 of the 121,000 Rhode Island customers who lost power after a line of extremely severe storms came through Rhode Island and parts of Massachusetts. Wind gusts as high as 80 miles per hour accompanied by intense lightning and torrential rains brought down many large trees and tree limbs that blocked roads, damaged buildings and tore down power lines. Storm damage affected:
-
20 major power lines that serve a total of 12 substations
-
70 main distribution lines, more than half of which are fed by the major lines and substations
-
Power lines and equipment on local streets and in neighborhoods - there were many damaged poles, significant tree damage and numerous wires down
Yesterday and overnight, crews focused on restoring the 20 major power lines, 12 substations and main distribution lines and making safe any downed wires. All of the major lines and substations have been re-energized, along with the majority of the 70 main distribution lines. Now crews are focused on the lines and equipment that serve neighborhoods. Roughly 270 crews will be in the field today working to restore service. "The first thing we have to do is restore the major lines and substations that are the backbone of the system, many of which are in more remote areas off the beaten path," said Timothy F. Horan, president, national Grid Rhode Island. "These storms were incredibly fierce and with so many trees and tree limbs down they caused extensive damage to our equipment." "Today crews will be repairing lines and equipment on local roads and in neighborhoods, Horan added. "We expect the vast majority of Rhode Island customers to have power by tonight. In isolated situations, where trees or large limbs have come down on buildings or their service wire is damaged or down, repairs will take longer." "I want our customers to know that we are doing everything possible to restore their power as quickly and safely as possible. All of us at National Grid appreciate our customers' patience and understanding as we work to recover from the extreme weather that took its toll yesterday." The storms also caused outages that affected Massachusetts yesterday morning. More than 14,000 customers were affected. As restoration of these customers was being completed, another round of severe weather came through the state in the afternoon, affecting 22,700 additional customers. There are approximately 65 crews currently working to restore the remaining scattered outages in Massachusetts. Make Safety a PriorityNational Grid urges customers to focus on their own safety and that of utility crews working during the restoration. Here are some tips to help keep everyone safe:
-
Never touch downed power lines, and always assume that any fallen lines are live electric wires. If you see one, report it immediately to National Grid or your local emergency response organization.
-
Be alert and aware of National Grid crews working to restore service. Please stay clear of work zones.
-
Power problems can sometimes interrupt public water supply systems or disable well pumps, so it's an especially good idea to keep a supply of bottled drinking water handy.
-
To report wires down or a power outage call 800-465-1212.
-
People who depend on electric-powered life support equipment, such as a respirator, should let National Grid know. To register as a life support customer, call the company's Customer Service Center at 1-800-322-3223.
Electric Safety
-
If you use a generator to supply power during an outage, be sure to operate it outdoors. Before operating generators, disconnect from National Grid's system by shutting off the main breaker located in the electric service panel. Failure to do this could jeopardize the safety of line crews and the public.
-
If you lose power, turn off any appliances that were on when the power went off, but leave one light on so you will know when power is restored.
