Con Edison has successfully restored electricity to over 1,600 customers in Southeast Queens while continuing efforts to reconnect more than 6,200 amidst a serious heat wave affecting the power grid. The utility firm is reducing voltage by 8% in the impacted territory and encourages residents to conserve energy. Key neighborhoods include Jamaica and Queens Village. Con Ed aims for complete power restoration by 9 p.m. but notes the timeline may change. Priority is being given to public infrastructure, and customers are advised to limit high-energy appliance use.
To maintain reliability while repair crews work, the utility company has reduced voltage by 8% in the affected area and is urging customers to conserve energy.
This helps prevent additional outages and speeds up restoration. We're asking customers to help us maintain system reliability by cutting back on non-essential energy use.
