GETTING THE POWER BACK ON

BINGHAMTON — Crews of New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) — a subsidiary of AVANGRID, Inc. — at work in the Southern Tier and Hudson Valley to restore power after the winter storm of Dec. 1-2 disrupted service to thousands of customers. More than 55,000 NYSEG customers lost power, the company said in a news release. Much of the damage from the winter storm resulted from heavy, wet snow that brought down trees and limbs, causing damage to overhead power lines and other electrical equipment. As a result of the damage in some of the more remote areas, repairs required specialized equipment, NYSEG added.
