National Grid: Power Outages - Preparation & Restoration
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2024
- When the power goes out, there's always one question on everyone's mind: when will the lights come back on? So here's a look at the steps National Grid take to prepare for and prevent outages, as well as how we work to safely restore power when an outage does occur.
Central Mass. here and we're currently in the bullseye for this huge Nor'easter with 18+ inches of snow expected here. We lost power about 4 am here, but it was back on in about an hour and a half! Just two brownouts since then for a few seconds. I know these guys are out there in tough conditions working hard. Hats off to them!
On another note I know your crews are working hard and we do appreciate the efforts. Just sucks when you home is 30 degrees inside.
comment makes sense for both Fahrenheit and Celsius
What is going on national grid the power been out since 11:00 a.m. on the South shore near Brockton Attleboro West Bridgewater in Easton😢😢
love driving by them every 30 mins to see them just sitting in the truck and smoking
Oh please, you could never do their job.
National Grid is quick to shut your power off but not quick to put it back on 😤😑
$$$$$.
Pay your friggin bill. 🤪🤪🤪
@@LarryDickman1since you're being 🤡 has nothing to do with his bill right now we are going through a windstorm that knocked out a lot of our power since 11:00 this morning and we still don't have power has nothing to do with him paying his bill clown has everything to do with the weather go find someone else to play with ,better yet go play in traffic since you're so ignorant..😮
Yeah because there not getting paid for it and there's probably not many workers in some areas.
Attleboro has just gone through a bad power outage, our area isn’t getting power back maybe until December 21st. It’s the 18th.
What are you serious because I'm in Easton in the whole street is knocked out
I’m on park street right near park street pizza. You’d think living between apd and sturdy they’d have our area on priority 🤦🏽♂️
I live in Mansfield and all around me lost power, I’m near the T. My mother is in Everett and she lost power at 11:30 and they said Dec 21, 12:00!!! I hope not, she’ll start knocking heads!
This is the most relaxing video, really helpful and comforting to understand the steps in the process. Thank you!
I agree. This broke it down so easily for people to understand. Now I have more of said understanding when the power goes out and the process in which it takes to come back on.
Hey National grid!!! When are you gonna fix the power? Wever been out for over 24 hrs now, have seen ONE truck, and the dude was just sitting there staring at his phone. My house is cold, and my food has gone bad. Also, how come I have reported my outage about a dozen times now, but everytime I check for updates, it says it hasn't been reported? Also, how about letting me speak to an actual human being?
National Grid is the worst. Never use to be like this. Now when power goes out they do nothing for days. Why is it so difficult for them to employ more people to fix outages.
Lol that’s not true at all 😂😂😂
Mass
Assessing, is there new way of saying we're not going to do anything for a few days but you still have to pay us.
My Mom’s over 83 yrs old & we need heat & power! What’s the problem?
Glenwood Place, Hanson still out. It’s getting chilly!
National Grid is terrible, they take your money and do not upgrade nor maintain the equipment as there are constantly outages with minimal storms. Very discouraged and disappointed by this company, I wish there was an alternative
Who else watching cuz their power out cuz of the winter storm blizzard and are freezing waiting for national grid
Dead trees up and down my street. Ngrid has driven by them at least 20 times. Obviously they’re easier to take away after they drop on the lines and take the power out WTF !! 50% rate increase ??
i miss having power pls fix it asap 😭😭
This video is awfully vague, 7 years old and their website still points to it. Power out in part of buffalo and eggertzville and part of south buffalo. No litte chess piece denoting a crew out angwhere.
Here in 2021 w power outage in Amherst area. Link sent us here also 😳
BREAK UP THIS MONOPOLY! LETS MAKE OUR GRID PUBLIC SO WE CAN GET WHAT WE PAY FOR
Call national grid? Ok. We loose power routinely for five days EVERY time there is an outage in our area. We call them. Everyone we get on the phone never has any information. We have called to report a split pole-we called and every person said-oh we have no record of that on file. This is after calling repeatedly for days and reporting it each time. This has gone on for the last six years. I know people as individuals work very hard. As a whole-there’s infrastructure issues. One hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.
Same thing happens at my moms house. They lose power constantly and for days at a time. It doesn’t even take a big storm for it to happen!!! They need to upgrade the infrastructure
This is a horrible monopoly
No site of any help....its freezing and all the food has gone bad...please ik ur busy bit its been reported the tree is hanging on wire hours ago and no attention nor attempts to fix this!!!
why are the American and British services mixed in the same Channel?
TheMightyKinkle because this company serves both.
6th time this year multiple day outage. They mess with the outage map right before 6oclock news. Lie on news say power restored to 90% then when I check outage map because my power is still out I see that my already reported outage has been cleared and I have to re report it to get it on map again. Imagine if I never checked.... shady company.
100% respect for the linemen. Union strong
Yesterday my power went on for 5 minutes then went off
Welcome to democrat communist new York rolling black outs like Venezuela. Never happened in past or under trump this is all on purpose.
So there is not a single crew shown on your map south of Hanover for over three hours what the heck where are all the crews
Yes Kathy, I also wonder where are the crews in my area I live right on rte 128 off of rt 18, they can't say it's due to the high wind because the wind has died down two very little in the past few hours... The maps don't show anything for either area, so why tell you to check their maps of the outages!! When you see none in the whole area???
I have to agree with you as I would like to know where the crews are, certainly the maps do not show any crews in the area, they can't say it's due to high winds!!!
So... do u think the power will be on soon in abington mass? Phones on 15% and have a madden tournament in an hour! 🤣
Hey abingtons a nice town! De'anns was a fun place!
lmaoooo
Electric out Hudson Falls New York
Whelp if we never fucked with the Manhattan project we would have free energy, it would spread like wifi, no need for power lines.... but the govt gotta make that money somehow....
Test
Why don't you bury the utilities like they do down South? Are you afraid of the labor unions? Rhode Island is mostly sandy soil and fallen trees and drunks find it difficult to get deep enough to take out buried cables.
I had no idea they bury them down south! That would be such a better option. Losing power up here in the winter can be life threatening without heat especially for the elderly. Pipes can freeze and burst and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage. Although with frozen ground it may be hard to access them if need be
CAN U FIX THE FKN POWER 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
THERES A POWEROUTAGE PLZ FIX
National grid charge u 400$in winter
Please fix the power outage..i have my period I need to take care of that and my husband needs to shit. It's total darkness.
Lmfaoooo
Maybe you should start putting that 50% increase in rates to actually cutting and managing vegetation around your grid. What a joke !!
Transformer blew, 12 hrs later still not a single truck in sight and they havent even assigned anyone to it. Absolute worst service.
1st small storm of the year and no power yet for 1 day and no timeframe for restoration.
Honestly. Every year. As soon as the wind hits 25mph you can expect to loose power. Considering it take 3 to 5 days for you to return power, I think you should provide home generators, for us dumb country folks who clearly are not a priority. How about you start putting lines underground. Works for the gas companies.
Thanks for all you do for us! ❤️👍🏽Stay SAFE‼️👁❤️💡& 🇺🇸
Thank you and be safe👍
Jarka Hopper Hey 😍
Let's go brandon
Worst like 400$ in winter crazy
Maybe if 11m people stop paying their bills for a month we'll get their attention!
YOU NEED TO FIRE YOUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM! SOME IN WESTERN NEW YORK ARE MORE THAN 30 HOURS NO POWER--- YOU WONT EVEN ANSWER YOUR PHONES.
Fix the power 🔌 dayuuuuuuuumm RI sucks !!!!!
