  • 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.

    Attleboro has just gone through a bad power outage, our area isn’t getting power back maybe until December 21st. It’s the 18th.

      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!

      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.

  • @Jaymeh626

    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?

  • @drmariopepper4354
    @drmariopepper4354 2 года назад +14

    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.

    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

    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 ??

  • @mlersk8830
    @mlersk8830 4 года назад +18

    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.

    • @laurac86
      @laurac86 2 года назад +6

      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

    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

    • @barbarasawyer9064
      @barbarasawyer9064 4 года назад +1

      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???

    • @barbarasawyer9064
      @barbarasawyer9064 4 года назад +1

      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!!!

    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.

    • @laurac86
      @laurac86 2 года назад +3

      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

    Maybe you should start putting that 50% increase in rates to actually cutting and managing vegetation around your grid. What a joke !!

    1st small storm of the year and no power yet for 1 day and no timeframe for restoration.

  • @MichaelSargentvisuals
    @MichaelSargentvisuals Год назад +1

    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.
