WPCNR THE POWER NEWS. June 10, 2008: A spokesperson for Con Edison today reported 7 White Plains residents were without power for a few hours Monday evening, but had power fully restored in a few hours. The spokesperson for Con Edison, Chris Olert, noted that the company ability to weather the relentless demand for power caused by the 95 degree heat Monday was helped in part due to the company’s investment in infrastructure last year and the installation of a new substation in Yonkers. As of this morning at 10:30 A.M., Olert reported no outages in White Plains. Currently as of 11:15 A.M. the temperature outside of WPCNR White Plains news studios, the temperature is 90 degrees in the shade.
Note: A resident called WPCNR expressing skepticism that only 7 homes were without power between 5 and 9 PM last night as Con Edision reports. The source said most of Rocky Dell was without power. WPCNR is checking with Con Edision to verify the reports of more widespread outage.
