Most of the remaining 2,000 or so O&R customers without power in Rockland should have their power restored by 11pm tonight, the company said in a statement. Tens of thousands across O&R’s service area lost power following the strong Christmas Eve storms that barreled through the region.
O&R’s says the company’s entire workforce has been fully mobilized to restore service, support field work and address customer needs. To accelerate that service restoration, Con Edison dispatched 165 more overhead line techs to assist, bringing O&R’s emergency field response resources for this event to approximately 500 workers.
