Jersey Central Power & Light is assessing the extensive damage from Hurricane Sandy, with more than 1,600 linemen, 1,200 forestry workers and other personnel available to help restore power to customers. This is the worst storm damage in JCP&L history, far worse than experienced during Hurricane Irene and the October 2011 snowstorm. As a result, restoration times will likely be longer. Damage assessment began this morning with crews on the ground. Today, after winds subside, helicopter crews will inspect 230 kilovolt transmission lines that are damaged. Early assessments indicate parts of the transmission system may need to be rebuilt. Helicopters also will assess the extensive damage throughout the system. JCP&L has 10 helicopters available and is working to secure more. JCP&L is a subsidiary of FirstEnergy. | |
