“These satellite command centers put our crews and materials closer to the areas where they’re needed most,
providing us greater flexibility to more quickly deploy the massive crew resources that we’ve brought into
Connecticut,” said Eversource President of Regional Electric Operations Craig Hallstrom. “We remain grateful to our customers for their patience during these unprecedented times of COVID-19, and we will not rest until every customer has power.”
The satellite command centers are located in six of the hardest-hit regions of Connecticut: Berlin, Cheshire, Madison, Norwalk, Tolland, and Torrington. These local centers supplement Eversource’s regular work centers, reducing materials bottlenecks and providing more efficient deployment of crews through a more localized approach.
Each location is led by an experienced commander with complete control of the restoration process in their area, a mobile command center, dedicated crews, supervisors, and damage assessors, as well as road-clearing and other equipment. Eversource has more than doubled the number of its restoration crews since the storm
began, and additional out-of-state crews will continue arriving throughout the day today.
