Tuesday – 2:50 p.m.
WEC crews have restored power to all but 127 members. As typically happens later in an outage event, the speed of restoration slows as the number of members affected by restoration gets smaller and some of the more complicated work – a broken pole in this case – takes longer to complete.
We have not seen many additional outages coming in, and are hopeful that we will complete restoration in the coming hours.
