President of Regional Electric Operations Craig Hallstrom Thursday addressed the criticized response effort as hundreds of thousands remain in the dark following Tropical Storm Isaias.


He said the crews are working tirelessly to restore power, noting, “I'd be remiss if I didn’t give a shoutout to our crews. They left their families and are working 24-7.”

He said there are “north of 700” crews out working on restoring power across the state with 500 to 600 wire down crews and damage assessors in place. There is also an expected 1,200 crew members set to arrive in Connecticut Thursday and Friday.

Hallstrom said during the first 24 hours after the storm, they focused on safety for the public and crews and work with communities to unblock roads, allowing for emergency services to pass through.
