NSP: Satisfied With Weekend Storm Response

A spokeswoman for Nova Scotia Power says the South Shore gave them the most challenges over the weekend. Neera Ritcey says Yarmouth, Shelburne and Barrington were the hardest to deal with because of the wind and type of outages. She says some of the power restorations in those areas were slowed down due to the bad weather and travel restrictions. Overall though, Ritcey feels the utility responded well to the conditions.



She says crews worked round the clock to try and restore power to about 250 residents in the Shelburne-area overnight Saturday. Ritcey says NSP will continue to analyze the situation and improve their contingency plan going forward.
