Vermont Business Magazine Some Vermont Electric Co-op members may be without power into Tuesday as crews continue to assess and repair damage after heavy, wet snow covered the region last night.
As of 5 pm Monday, VEC is reporting: 179 Outages; 3296 Members affected; 51 Towns affected.
Total outages in Vermont are 4020 customers mostly in northern Vermont, according to https://vtoutages.org/.
“These outages are widespread and restoration for some areas is taking time,” said Jake Brown, VEC Energy Services Planner. VEC members who still do not have power and do not have an Estimated Time of Restoration assigned to their service should expect to not have power overnight and should plan accordingly.
People who need a warm place to go can inquire with their local community or call 2-1-1 for more information. Local emergency contacts can be found here: https://vem.vermont.gov/programs/emd/contact
Since the outages began rolling in early this morning, crews have restored power to more than 5,000 members. As of this afternoon, about 4,000 members remained without power. VEC has brought in additional mutual aid crews to assist with restoration.
