Emera Maine crews have been working through the night and were able to restore service to another 4,000 customers affected by Monday's severe windstorm.
A unique mix of two back-to-back storms, each bringing more than a foot of heavy, wet snow, prior to frost setting in, caused widespread damage to the electrical system in northern Maine.
Emera Maine crews are scheduled to perform work to the electrical system on Sunday, December 11th beginning at 1:00 a.m. and lasting for approximately four hours to about 5 a.m. The grid work has been moved ahead a week due to this week's record snowfalls. Electric service will be suspended to enable crews to safely complete their work.
