N.C. Electric Cooperatives Make Further Restoration Progress; Outages Now Stand At 58,000


RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- North Carolina's electric cooperatives have made substantial outage restoration progress in the wake of Hurricane Florence, and cooperative outages statewide have now dropped to about 58,000, down from a historic high of 326,000 on Saturday.

Outages and restoration:
Remaining outages are concentrated in the hardest-hit areas of coastal and southeastern North Carolina. Real-time outage numbers and locations for co-ops throughout North Carolina can be accessed online.

Cooperative crews from less-impacted regions are joining local, out-of-state and contract crews in more heavily damaged communities to help restore power as quickly as possible. In areas where restoration points are inaccessible due to flooding or damaged roadways, or where damage to power poles and power lines is severe, the restoration effort may last several more days.

Safety:

Thank you to our members:
We thank cooperative members for their patience and many kind words as crews and co-op staff have worked tirelessly and diligently to rebuild after the storm and historic flooding. Restoring power quickly and safely is the electric cooperatives' priority. We will continue working to bring the lights back on for all members.                                                                                                                                                

About North Carolina's electric cooperatives:
