MEDIA ADVISORY Updated Restoration Numbers for FirstEnergy Customers
- None.
- None.
As of this morning, 43,200 customers remain without service. More than 4,300 FirstEnergy employees, contractors and outside resources are working around the clock on the restoration effort.
Estimated restoration times have been updated for each electric company. The estimated restoration times represent when the majority of customers in an area are expected to have power restored. Many will have service restored prior to that time, based on the level of damage encountered in a particular area. Some of the remaining repairs will restore only a few customers at a time, which makes completing restoration a time-consuming process.
