Outage Update #7 - 02/27/2010 11:00 a.m.

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Feb. 27, 2010 - With help arriving from as far away as Baltimore and Detroit, PSNH crews expect to make significant progress today in repairing power lines and electrical equipment damaged by the massive wind storm that lashed the Northeast early Friday morning.

As of 11:00 a.m., PSNH reports that about 223,000 customers remain without power, down from a peak of about 269,000 outages yesterday. With much of yesterday's work focused on assessing damage and addressing safety hazards, crews will be concentrating more intently today on repairing major sections of PSNH's electric system.

PSNH currently has about 404 line and tree-trimming crews working to assess damage, clear debris, and restore power. Another 217 crews are expected to arrive today to join the restoration effort.
Priorities for Today

Crews are focused today on repairing major circuits and lines that serve the largest concentrations of people, and restoring service to critical facilities such as schools and water treatment facilities. Once the major power lines are repaired, smaller lines feeding off these circuits can be repaired to restore service to individual neighborhoods and homes.

Clearing downed wires from roadways will continue to be a priority today, in order to prevent safety hazards and open roads to use by residents, emergency vehicles, and utility crews. Customers are reminded to always assume downed wires are energized, even if they appear to be "dead," and to notify PSNH of their location immediately at 1-800-662-7764.
Outages by Town

Although power outages are widespread throughout the state, the Seacoast and Southern regions of New Hampshire were hit hardest by this storm. Towns with the largest number of PSNH customers without power include Manchester, Derry, Dover, Londonderry, and Rochester.

To view a list of estimated outages by town, updated at 5:00 a.m. today, please visit: http://bit.ly/dlLh7V. Please note that the outage numbers are changing constantly as work continues in the field.
Important Safety Tips

Given the extent of damage caused by this storm, customers are asked to prepare for what will be a multi-day power restoration effort. For information on shelters and other assistance, customers are encouraged to call 211.

PSNH reminds customers that it is critical for their safety and the safety of line workers repairing the electrical system that portable generators be installed correctly. Generators must be properly ventilated to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, and should never be refueled while in operation.

To protect line workers, a generator should only be attached to the house wiring and be completely isolated from the utility supply. Without proper isolation, power that is being generated through the home could also feed into the PSNH electrical system and possibly electrocute a neighbor or a utility worker. Please take care when installing a portable generator. For more generator safety tips, visit www.psnh.com/Residential/SafetyCenter/Generators.asp.

More information on power outages and storm restoration is available on the company's website at www.psnh.com/stormsafety.
