There was an unexpected 5 hour power outage in Maine over the weekend that almost ruined New Year's Eve for homeowners and businesses. The nearly five-hour outage closed businesses, dimmed traffic lights and many wondered whether New Year’s Eve festivities would proceed as planned. That would have seriously hampered commerce for area businesses.

The New Year’s celebration was to include music performances, childrens activities and more were scheduled to continue throughout the afternoon and evening. The way to keep festivities happening or businesses open during an unplanned power outage is through rental commercial generators.
 
The fault in a transmission line cut power to more than 16,000 customers beginning at about 10 a.m. Saturday morning.

In some communities, nearly 100% of customers were without power during the outage. For the next scheduled or unplanned power outage, contact ElecComm Power for your emergency power needs. Rental Generators can keep your business running when the power goes out.

This past Friday night, power was shut off for several hours to a large area of the National Mall while emergency repairs were made to a damaged power line.

The regional power company there shut power off Friday at Midnight while repairs were made to a damaged power line near the Lincoln Memorial.

The power outage lasted about four hours. Many traffic and street lights, memorials and businesses were without power during this time.

For scheduled or emergency power outages businesses need commercial emergency power rental generators. Don’t let your business lose out on essential commerce. Don't let your care facility lose its emergency systems. For New England and New York scheduled or emergency power loss, contact ElecComm Power Services for emergency power.
