Power Outage

Monday morning, July 27th didn't get off to a great start for 2047 Versant Power (formerly Emera Maine) customers, as they woke up to no power in the Blue Hill, Sedgewick, Penobscot and Brooklin area.

As of 6 a.m. on Wednesday, April 15th there were 3715 Emera Maine customers without power, stemming from last Thursday's snowstorm and Monday's windstorm. Of that number, 1,777 were in Hancock County, 1,322 in Penobscot County and 43 in Washington County.

9 p.m. UPDATE - Emera Maine still has 5165 customers without power, although they have restored service to more than 20,000 customers Tuesday, including 99 percent of those affected by last week's nor'easter. About 100 crews will continue working to restore service to remaining customers Wednesday, and it's expected that nearly all customers will be reconnected. As of 9 p.m. there were 3,796 customers in Hancock County, 1,113 customers in Penobscot County and 42 customers in Washington County without service.

9 p.m. UPDATE - The heavy winds have stopped the line crews from using the bucket trucks. As of 9 p.m. there were still about 2200 customers awaiting restoration from Thursday's snowstorm, but the heavy winds have added to the outage totals. There were 13,226 customers without power as of 9 p.m. with 4,881 customers in Hancock County, 5,162 customers in Penobscot County and 1,414 customers in Washington County.

There were 649 customers in Hancock County and 4,034 customers in Penobscot County without power. If you don't have power by 10 p.m. you should prepare to be without power again Sunday night.
