Mon Power Severe Summer Storm Outage Update
AKRON, Ohio, July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: [ FE ]) employees, contractors and outside utility crew members continue working around-the-clock to restore power to less than 12,600 Mon Power customers in West Virginia who lost power as a result of recent severe storms that hit the region.
More than 1,700 linemen continue working on outage orders, especially the harder-hit areas near Fairlea, Gassaway, and the outlying areas of Parkersburg. However, the remaining work is especially labor-intensive, with smaller numbers of customers being restored with each repair.
While the majority of affected customers in most counties served by Mon Power should be restored by Wednesday evening, a few customers in the hardest-hit areas might not be fully restored until later in the week.
A complete list of estimated restoration times is available on the web at [ www.firstenergycorp.com/outages_help/Summer_Storm_Information ]
Customers without power are reminded to turn off and unplug major appliances to prevent damage and possible overloads to the company's system when power is restored.
