MANCHESTER, N.H. (November 29, 2012) – Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) has released a report on the company’s successful restoration effort in the wake of “Super Storm Sandy,” a storm that left more than 200,000 New Hampshire homes and businesses without power. The report is available at psnhnews.com.
A new 70,000 square foot warehouse and office facility on Legends Drive in Hooksett now serves as the headquarters for the Construction, Test and Maintenance Division of PSNH’s Transmission Group. A dedication ceremony in October, involving company, local, and state dignitaries, officially opened the facility. The building will provide space to consolidate transmission employees and equipment at one central location.
Portsmouth, NH (November 15, 2012) New Hampshire's single largest renewable energy project has surpassed a significant milestone in clean power production. Public Service of New Hampshire’s biomass boiler has now accepted and consumed more than 3 million tons of clean wood chips, mostly from local New Hampshire sources. The use of a local fuel source has resulted in tens of millions of additional dollars in the local economy, and a significant reduction in emissions.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (November 2, 2012) – Only three days after Hurricane Sandy caused widespread damage across New Hampshire, Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) has completed its restoration efforts and has sent a contingent of crews to aid restoration efforts in Connecticut.
PSNH now projects that, except for isolated situations, all customers will have power restored by midnight tonight.
Customers are reminded to report any new outage, or report their existing outage again if their neighborhood has power but they do not. There could be damage to their home service wire, which connects their home and meter to the nearest utility pole. To report an outage, customers can call 1-800-662-7764 or report online at www.psnh.com.
Line workers from Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH), Hydro Québec and independent contractors have made extraordinary progress today in the few remaining areas of the state where customers are still without power from Hurricane Sandy. As a result, PSNH now projects that, except for isolated situations, all customers will have power restored by midnight tonight.
A final push is on by Public Service of NH (PSNH) and mutual aid crews to restore power to the remaining customers left in the dark following Hurricane Sandy. Crews today are focusing on the hardest hit areas of the state, including Derry, Londonderry, Weare, Windham, and portions of the Monadnock Region. Damage in these areas is highly localized, and requires labor-intensive repairs that will only restore power to a few customers at a time.
