NC County Expected To Have Power Back By Tonight

The Associated Press reports:

Duke Energy said Wednesday that it has completed repairs on substation equipment in Moore County, North Carolina, as the FBI renewed calls to the public for help identifying “unknown” suspect or suspect behind sabotage gunfire at two substations that caused major power outages extending several days.

In a statement to customers on its website, the energy company said that all the equipment damaged in an attack on two substations Saturday has been fixed or replaced. The company said that Moore County customers will gradually get power back throughout the day as it finishes testing and completes restoration safely.

“To avoid overwhelming the electrical system we will bring power back on gradually, with the goal of having the majority of customers restored before midnight tonight,” the statement said.
