Eversource brings in reinforcement to be ready for Monday’s Storm

BOSTON — Eversource is monitoring the weekend weather systems with the potential to cause power outages across the state.

Another storm is forecasted to bring snow and ice to western parts of the commonwealth, with rain and hazardous wind in Eastern Massachusetts Sunday night into Monday.

The energy company is preparing line and tree crews to respond to any damage or outages caused by the weather.

“We’ve been carefully monitoring these weather systems for the last few days and we’ll have workers and materials in position across the state ready to respond and will adjust our plans if the forecast changes,” said Eversource Vice President of Electric Field Operations in Massachusetts Bill Ritchie. “With heavy, wet snow or ice in some parts of the state and wind gusts over 60 miles per hour possible on Cape Cod, there is the potential for trees and tree limbs to come down onto power lines and electric equipment. We’re fully stocked with extra utility poles, wire, transformers, and other equipment and ready to repair any damage this storm may cause.”

Customers should also prepare for any severe weather by restocking with a storm kit and creating an emergency plan with family members, friends, and neighbors.

Eversource also offers the following tips on its website to help customers prepare for emergencies.
