Eversource shares the latest information on how both the electric and gas system during the storm.

“The electric system has held up well during this storm, which brought significant amounts of dry, fluffy snow and extremely cold temperatures to the state. Our crews were pre-positioned at our area work centers across Massachusetts, and we’ve restored power to more than 10,000 customers statewide since the storm began yesterday, mostly in Eastern Massachusetts. There’s enough power available to meet demand across the region, and no emergency actions are expected at this time. The gas system has also performed well, and customers have had reliable access to heating service throughout these frigid conditions. With today’s conditions, our biggest concern for power outages is vehicle strikes into utility poles. These incidents can cause significant damage, create hazardous situations for first responders and our crews, and lead to extended outages for customers. We’re urging drivers to slow down, use extra caution, and avoid unnecessary travel when roads are slick. Our crews are staged and ready to respond safely and as quickly as possible, but preventing these crashes is the best way to keep everyone safe and the power on. We’re also reminding customers, property owners, and plow operators to use caution when plowing, shoveling or snow blowing around gas meters and service lines. We’ve already seen instances where plows have struck meter sets, causing gas to escape. Any damage to gas equipment can create a serious safety hazard. As always, customers should stay clear of any downed wires and call 911 or the gas company immediately if they smell gas or experience a loss of service. Electric outages can be reported online or by calling 800-592-2000 in Eastern Massachusetts or 877-659-6326 in Western Massachusetts.”
