Central Hudson officials said that they are bringing in outside crews to help restore power to area residents with hundreds of line and tree professionals brought in to help with cleanup efforts.
“Our crews have been able to complete an incredible amount of repairs so far, but we know there is still a great deal of work to be done and will not rest until all customers have been restored,” Central Hudson Vice President of Electric Engineering and Operations Ryan Hawthorne said.
“We are still encountering extensive damage and we expect some of the most heavily impacted areas to be without power through Monday night and into Tuesday. We have brought in an additional 25 mutual aid line professionals from our neighboring utility Orange & Rockland this morning to help restore as many customers as possible today.”
