Con Ed Continues Restoring Power, 60K Still Waiting Saturday

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — More than 60,000 Con Edison customers are still in the dark Saturday night, as of 7:45 p.m. In the Tow of Yorktown, 4,900 customer out of 8,100 are waiting for the lights to come back on. The estimated time of restoration is pending for the entire county.

White Plains has 1,032 customers without power, while Yonkers has 3,155.

Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner said he spoke with Con Edison officials about power restoration efforts.

Con Ed said high winds made restoration difficult Friday, because there are many trees and pole that are down or broken. The electrical company has been giving priority to opening up roads, and addressing low-hanging wires. Once those are cleared, they have to check for damage to its system and then assign crew and equipment to the area to begin repairs.

Feiner said it could be Tuesday before all of his town’s residents have power restored.
