Ice Storm Update
Monday, March 3
4 p.m.
Leer en español
- Great coordination and hard work have put Duke Power crews ahead of schedule in restoring service to the more than 350,000 customers impacted by last week’s storm. At 4 p.m. today, electric service has been restored to 340,500, with approximately 9,500 storm-related power outages remaining:
o Winston-Salem –680
o Greensboro – 3,370
o Burlington – Scattered
o Reidsville – 1,780
o Madison – Scattered
- All remaining outages have been assigned to Duke Power crews and will be completed tonight.
- Approximately 5,000 people, including Duke Power crews and personnel from other utilities, worked long hours to make the restoration efforts move faster than initially projected.
- We are grateful for our customers’ patience and the many expressions of appreciation offered to our crews.
- As we approach final restorations, our progress is slowed due to restoring single services instead of circuits with large numbers of homes.
- There may be situations where repairing a circuit restores electricity to some homes or businesses but nearby locations on different circuits remain without power.
- To report an outage or check on estimated time of restoration, customers may call 1-800-POWERON (1-800-769-3766). Spanish speaking customers may call 1-800-943-6914.
- Customers without power are encouraged to visually inspect their meter box and service line connected to their home to see if either is damaged. If damaged, Duke Power recommends customers turn off their main electric breaker until repairs are made. If the meter box is damaged or pulled away from the building, customers need to contact a licensed electrician for repairs and their local county office to see if an inspection might be required.

DUKE POWER ANUNCIA REANUDACIÓN DE SUMINISTRO ELÉCTRICO PARA MEDIANOCHE DEL LUNES
Novedades tras la tormenta de nieve
Lunes 3 de marzo
4 p.m.
- Un gran esfuerzo de coordinación y trabajo arduo permitió a las cuadrillas de Duke Power restablecer el suministro eléctrico antes de lo previsto a más de 350.000 clientes afectados por la tormenta de la semana pasada. A las 4 p.m. de hoy, se había reanudado el servicio a unos 340.500 clientes, quedando apenas 9.500 clientes sin electricidad por causa de la tormenta, a saber:
o Winston-Salem – 680
o Greensboro – 3.370
o Burlington – Clientes dispersos
o Reidsville – 1.780
o Burlington – Clientes dispersos
- Todas las interrupciones restantes han sido asignadas a las cuadrillas de Duke Power y los trabajos estarán listos esta noche.
- Aproximadamente unas 5.000 personas, que incluyen a las cuadrillas de Duke Power y al personal de otras empresas de servicios públicos, han trabajado muchas horas para devolver el servicio eléctrico más rápido de lo previsto.
- Agradecemos la paciencia de nuestros clientes y las numerosas expresiones de aprecio hacia nuestras cuadrillas.
- A medida que nos acercamos al final de nuestras tareas de reanudación de servicio, el progreso se hace más lento puesto que se trata del restablecimiento de servicios individuales y no de conexiones de circuitos para un elevado número de hogares.
- En algunos casos, la reparación de una línea dará electricidad a algunos hogares y empresas pero las zonas cercanas conectadas a otras líneas pueden seguir sin energía eléctrica.
- Para obtener información sobre una interrupción o la hora estimada de reconexión, los clientes pueden llamar al 1-800-POWERON (1-800-769-3766). Los clientes hispanoparlantes pueden llamar al 1-800-943-6914.
- Recomendamos a los clientes sin energía eléctrica que inspeccionen visualmente el medidor y la acometida hacia a su hogar para determinar si presentan daños. En caso de averías, Duke Power aconseja que se desconecte el interruptor eléctrico principal hasta que se efectúen las reparaciones. Si el medidor está dañado o alejado de la edificación, los clientes deberán llamar a un electricista con licencia para las reparaciones correspondientes y a la oficina local del condado para determinar si será necesaria una inspección.
