AKRON, Ohio, July 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) employees, contractors and outside utility crew members are in the process of completing service restorations for approximately 4,900 Mon Power customers in West Virginia who lost power as a result of recent severe storms that hit the region.
While the majority of the 320,000 Mon Power customers affected by recent storms should be restored by this evening, it is expected that less than 2,000 customers in the hardest-hit areas will have service restored by Thursday or Friday.
More than 1,500 linemen continue working on outage orders, especially the harder-hit areas near Fairlea, Gassaway, and the outlying areas of Parkersburg. The remaining work is especially labor-intensive, with smaller numbers of customers being restored with each repair.
