Outage Details
Accumulating snow in northern Maine and chilling winds in eastern Maine have weighed down lines and brought down trees throughout Emera Maine's service territory overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. A full slate of crews, prepared for windy conditions throughout the day, will be continuing to address downed wires and working to restore service to customers Wednesday morning.
Motorists are asked to be watchful for black ice on roadways as a result of wet conditions and plunging temperatures.

The public is reminded to never touch a downed power line or a tree in contact with a downed line.
