Con Edison Crews, Equipment to Aid Puerto Rico Power Restoration
Consolidated Edison, Inc. today announced seventy vehicles have arrived at a shipping terminal in southern New Jersey and will be loaded onto a cargo ship for a trip to Puerto Rico, where they’ll be part of the massive campaign to restore power.
More than 100 power line workers, technical specialists and support personnel will head to Puerto Rico next week to help the island’s recovery from the ravages of recent hurricanes.
“We look forward to helping the people of Puerto Rico recover from the devastating impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria,” said John McAvoy, chairman and CEO of Con Edison. “Many employees at Con Edison and O&R have deep connections with family or friends in Puerto Rico and they all are anxious to help.”
Con Edison is working with Governor Andrew Cuomo, the New York Power Authority, the Edison Electric Institute and the American Public Power Association to organize the effort.
