PECO issued the following memo at 9:00am on Sunday, June 22:
PECO has made major progress by restoring electric service for more than 307,000 of the 327,000 customers who were impacted by the intense and destructive storms that brought heavy rain and straight-line winds gusting to nearly 60 mph on Thursday. The company has brought in thousands of additional field crews to work alongside the more than 3,000 dedicated PECO employees who have been working tirelessly in support of their customers and communities.
Nearly 2,600 additional assistance resources, including line workers and tree crews from outside of the region from states including Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina Virginia, and West Virginia, along with crews from PECO’s sister utility ComEd, in Chicago, are working to restore service for customers.
