Here's where Versant plans to restore power on Thursday
Versant Power released a list on Thursday evening of streets where it expects to restore power today.
About 26,000 Versant customers remained without power on Thursday after a peak of roughly 97,000 outages, according to Versant.
“It is not a guarantee that power will be restored,” Versant said in a news release. “More than one circuit may power a street and additional damage may need to be repaired to fully restore the listed locations. If a customer does not see their location on this list, they should expect to remain without power until at least tomorrow.”
The utility added that customers in remote or seasonal locations, or that have damage that must first be repaired by an electrician will not be restored until larger outages are taken care of.

Nuclear energy provides almost 20 percent of the U.S. electricity supply. Advocates have called for an expanded role for nuclear as an emissions-free fuel source. But the economics of building new reactors are daunting. In addition, lingering safety concerns are an institutionalized part of the calculation of nuclear regulation, and highly radioactive nuclear waste remains a can that public officials have been inclined to kick down the road. The Energy Information Administration projects a sharp decline in nuclear power generation over the next decade, as new nuclear plants — two are planned — are more than offset by anticipated retirements of several operating reactors.
