Multi-day Recovery Expected from March 29 Wind Storm by NHEC | Mar 29, 2021 | Outage, Uncategorized PLYMOUTH, NH (2 P.M.) – As the NHEC electric system continues to take damage due to high winds, line crews are focused today on public safety and damage assessment. More than 250 outages have been reported since daybreak (3/29) and fallen trees have closed many NH roads, including major highways like Route 101 in the Raymond area. Joined by cutting crews from several tree service companies, line crews have been responding to multiple calls to open roads and make sure damage scenes are free of electrical hazards. This will likely be a multi-day restoration effort. Dozens of additional out-of-state line crews are arriving today to assist. Restoration times for current outages will not be determined in most cases until overnight or tomorrow (3/30). Winds are expected to peak this afternoon and die down overnight, giving crews the opportunity to focus on rebuilding the damaged system. Unfortunately, if you are without power at this time, you should expect to remain without power overnight. Please report outages to 1.800.343.6432.
