MANCHESTER, N.H. - March 2, 2010 – The vast majority of customers impacted by last week’s wind storm have been restored. As of 6:00 a.m., PSNH reports that about 10,200 customers remain without power. More than 96 percent of those affected by the storm have been restored.

All remaining troubles being addressed

Crews will be working today on every single trouble spot that PSNH is aware of, and the company expects that the completion of the work will restore power to all customers.

Special Report: How Was this Storm Different?
