CL&P: Windsor to Get Power Restored Sunday

Connectictut Light & Power released estimates for power restoration in its customer towns across the state Wednesday, saying that they estimate Windsor residents will have power restored by Sun., Nov. 6 at 11:59 p.m.

As of Wednesday morning, CL&P’s outage map reports that Windsor has gained 5 percent power since Sunday.

Accordingly, locations have slowly begun to open across town. Bart’s and the Dairy Bar were open Tuesday, in addition to restaurants and gas stations that have operated since Sunday and Monday, including Dom’s Broad Street Eatery and Tunxis Grille.

The main library will be open Wednesday from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

According to CL&P, a number of communities have already been restored to 99 percent power, including Branford, Clinton, Essex and Putnam.

Killingworth and Guilford are among the towns that will be restored to 99 percent by midnight Wednesday, and CL&P lists towns that will slowly be restored throughout the week and weekend, the vast majority of which are listed alongside Windsor for an estimated restoration time of Sunday by midnight.

CL&P Restoration Efforts Continue (with Shelter Information)

Saturday’s rare October nor’easter’s heavy, wet snow weighed down trees and branches, knocking out power across the state and CL&P reports it may take more than a week to restore service to all customers. Crews are reportedly working around the clock until restoration efforts are complete. CL&P reports that, unlike tropical storm Irene, the Oct. 29 storm caused significant damage to transmission lines in central and northwest Connecticut, complicating restoration efforts. These lines bring power from where electricity is made to the wires that supply neighborhoods.Restoration projections are available online at cl-p.com/stormcenter/estimates. Yesterday, Nov. 1, there were more than 770 line and tree crews at work across the state. Staging areas were set up at Lake Compounce in Bristol, the former Timex building in Middlebury and Fairfield Hills in Newtown.Critical customers for power restoration include schools, waste water treatment plants and town centers, so resident can access important services. – Press release

CL&P: Storm costs to total about $100 million

Because the winter storm is the “same magnitude” as Irene, the utility is looking at a range of between $75 million and $100 million range, “minimum,” he said.

Parent company Northeast Utilities told investor analysts in September that ratepayers, not investors, will pay for the Irene-related cleanup as utilities seek to avoid taking a hit to its profit. It’s standard in the industry for ratepayers to pay operating costs such as electrical restoration and storm clean-up.

The utility must ask state regulators for permission to pass the costs on to ratepayers. Regulators will examine CL&P’s costs to determine what can be reimbursed. Dennis Schain, a spokesman for the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, said CL&P has not yet submitted its request for Irene-related expenses.

“I believe the costs we’ve incurred are costs necessary to serve our customers,” Butler said.

Kevin M. DelGobbo, chairman of the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, told lawmakers in September that CL&P maintains insurance for storm-related expenses through a Northeast Utilities policy. The policy is limited to $15 million per occurrence, with a $10 million deductible.

A spokeswoman for CL&P would not give details about the insurance policy.

The utility reported on its website Thursday that about 430,000 customers were without power, down by less than half from the peak of 830,000 when the storm struck Saturday. Elected officials have criticized CL&P, which also has been disparaged in Facebook and Twitter postings, for what critics say has been a slow response.

Malloy said the number of customers who have had electricity restored is “not exactly where I thought they’d be or where they said they’d be, but it’s reasonably close to that.”

“I’m holding them accountable to the benchmarks they set,” he said, referring to CL&P.

The utility has promised to restore electricity to most customers by late Sunday night.

Butler resisted when asked by a reporter if he would apologize for the response time.

“We’re doing everything possible to restore our customers as soon as possible,” he said. “As we got the weather forecast last Friday, we ramped up, putting people on call. We’ve been seeking additional resources since Saturday.”

“I think we have been doing a very good job of getting people restored,” Butler said.

Butler said there currently are 1,041 tree and line crews working throughout the state, with an additional 110 crews coming in today.

But, the governor added, “We need to move faster.”

Malloy said the list of projections would be updated on a ongoing basis throughout the day.

Butler also said CL&P is shifting its focus from clearing the lines to power restoration.

In the same press conference Malloy said there was another carbon-monoxide death in the state, bringing the total to three CO deaths. in total, there have been six weather-related deaths since the start of the storm, the governor said.

He also reported a man in Enfield died after his ATV came into contact with a live wire.Connecticut Light & Power posted on its website when 50 towns in the southern and eastern part of the state can expect power to be restored with the remaining customers in its 149-town base to get this information on Wednesday.Malloy said carbon monoxide poisoning is the biggest public safety danger they worry about as 681.455 residents continue to not have power after heavy snow toppled trees and brought down wires starting on Saturday.CL&P now has 677,253 customers in the dark, down from a peak of 831,000, while United Illuminating has 4,202 customers in the same situation as of this morning."Do not bring a motor into your house that consumes any fuel other than electricity.
