Avangrid quickly restores power to thousands of customers after a Nor'easter

Avangrid, Iberdrola Group’s US subsidiary, successfully restored power to 30,000 customers affected by the recent Nor'easter. The storm caused widespread outages in the service areas of Avangrid's subsidiaries in Connecticut and upstate New York. NYSEG and UI mobilised 550 workers who responded quickly and safely to restore service.

Power could be restored quickly because of the company's investments in modernising and strengthening the electricity grid. Advanced technologies such as automated switching, smart meters and real-time monitoring systems enabled teams to quickly identify outages, isolate damage and restore service efficiently.

These infrastructure improvements have increased the resilience of the grid, cut restoration times by two hours and reinforced Avangrid's commitment to delivering reliable power in the face of increasingly severe weather events.
