AES Ohio provided an update on social media Sunday night. They said crews have been working tirelessly to restore service as quickly as possible.
“We’re continuing to make steady progress with the help of our team members, including 137 line crews, 50 tree crews, and support from 55 out-of-state crews,” they said. “As of now, over 93% of impacted customers have been restored, and we aim to reach 95% by Tuesday evening. We retained all internal crews and contractors, but securing additional support has been challenging since many are mobilized in the southeastern U.S. to address the hurricane’s impact in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.”
AES Ohio spokesperson Mary Ann Kable told News Center 7 on Saturday morning that the biggest challenge for crews is the amount of trees and branches that have fallen on power lines.
She said AES Ohio crews and contractor crews are working nonstop to restore power.
