POUGHKEEPSIE – Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. crews made progress in repairing damage and restoring power to customers who experienced service interruptions from Winter Storm Landon on Sunday.
To date, power has been restored to more than 48,000 homes and businesses since Friday morning, primarily in hard-hit Ulster County. As of 7 p.m. Sunday, approximately 16,000 customers are without power in Ulster County.
“We understand how critical it is to restore power to our customers given the current weather conditions. Our field force of nearly 900 line and tree professionals will continue to work into the night to retore as many homes and businesses as possible,” said Ryan Hawthorne, vice president of Electric Engineering and Operations. “Some customers in our most heavily impacted areas may not have service restored until Tuesday night. We are encouraging those without power to take appropriate measures to stay warm throughout the night.”
