"Currently right now we have about 160,000 customers that are out [of power]. According to Foley, 121,000 residents on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard along with 40,000 customers in Plymouth and New Bedford were without power as of Wednesday morning."
"Customers in Wellfleet, Yarmouth, Barnstable, Brewster, Dennis, Oak Bluffs, and Harwich will likely be the last towns to have power restored, with Eversource estimating they will have power by 11:59 p.m. Friday."
"There could be some stragglers that go into Thursday, but we're going to work really hard to have everybody on by Wednesday night, at midnight. National Grid had around 3,000 customers without power Wednesday night, mostly on Nantucket."
Following Monday's historic blizzard, Eastern Massachusetts experienced widespread power outages affecting thousands of residents. Eversource reported 160,000 customers without power as of Wednesday, including 121,000 on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard and 40,000 in Plymouth and New Bedford. National Grid initially saw over 90,000 outages Monday, reducing to approximately 3,000 by Wednesday night, primarily on Nantucket. Twenty-six towns faced extended restoration timelines, with Cape Cod communities like Wellfleet, Yarmouth, and Barnstable expected to regain power by Friday at 11:59 p.m. Both utility companies mobilized crews from multiple states to expedite repairs, though some areas may experience temporary outages during damage assessments and line de-energization procedures.
