A downed tree near an Eversource substation caused a brief power outages in Hillsborough, Antrim, Greenfield, Henniker, Francestown, Stoddard and Peterborough just before 9 p.m. on Thursday, May 14.
“We experienced a brief outage Thursday evening on a circuit out of our Jackman substation after a tree came down just outside the station and came into contact with electrical equipment,” said Olessa Stepanova, a representative of Eversource. “The issue caused a breaker to operate several times, which resulted in a momentary voltage dip that customers in Peterborough, Hillsborough, Greenfield, and surrounding areas may have noticed.”
Approximately 3,000 customers were impacted by the event, which lasted less than five minutes.
“We remotely restored all of the approximately 3,000 customers who were impacted in less than five minutes using automated technology, and our crews worked into the night to remove the tree and make final repairs in the area,” said representative Sarah Paduano.
