Regional power outages caused by Thursday’s high winds continued to decline into Thursday evening, as hours of work by utility crews deployed early in the morning began paying dividends.
As of 7 p.m., the number of electric customers statewide without power fell below 10,000, less than half of totals reported earlier Thursday. The figure represents customers of PSNH, Unitil and N.H. Electric Cooperative combined.
The largest outages were concentrated in the Concord area, where roughly half of Canterbury customers, a quarter of those in Bow and nearly 70 percent in Webster were still out.
Locally, Litchfield and Hollis each had about 7 percent, or roughly 250, customers without power, while about 150, or 18 percent, were still out in Lyndeborough.
A handful of outages were reported in Brookline, Londonderry, Mont Vernon, Wilton and Milford.![]()
