A top Connecticut utility regulator said that Eversource underestimated Tropical Storm Isaias. It has also left the utility unable to respond to the devastation in the storm’s wake.
More than 720,000 customers were left without power right after the storm. Also, despite some initial repairs Wednesday, utility companies are telling state officials it could be between 5 and 10 days before power is restored.
