Versant Power Planning Response to Christmas Storm
With heavy rain and high winds potentially exceeding 60 mph expected Thursday night through Friday, the Versant Power storm team is preparing for any impacts in northern and eastern Maine. As we prepare our crews for a storm beginning Christmas Eve, we encourage the public to prepare for the possibility of power outages as well as difficult travel conditions, said Allison Doughty, Versant Power storm manager. With such strong winds in the forecast, it is possible that conditions will be unsafe for our line crews, which may delay restoration times.
Versant Power will have crews prepared on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to address any public safety issues, assess damage and begin restoration efforts safely and as quickly as possible.
