Duke Energy has successfully restored power to over 73,000 customers in Indiana affected by severe storms that swept through the state yesterday. The company continues to work on restoring power to approximately 31,000 remaining customers as of 6 a.m. ET. Duke Energy has brought in over 500 additional crew members to supplement its workforce and respond to the hardest hit areas, including Bartholomew, Hamilton, Monroe, Union, and Vigo counties [1].The storms caused significant damage, with wind gusts reaching up to 70 miles per hour, taking down trees, power lines, and poles. Duke Energy's priority during power restoration is to repair large power lines and other infrastructure that will return power to the greatest number of customers as safely, quickly, and efficiently as possible. Essential services such as hospitals and water pumping and treatment facilities are also prioritized [1].
To keep customers informed, Duke Energy has set up an outage map and will post estimated restoration times at duke-energy.com/outages. Customers who are registered to receive Duke Energy text outage alerts will receive a text once an estimated restoration time is established for their location [1].
Duke Energy's response to the storm highlights the company's commitment to maintaining customer reliability and value. The company's ambitious energy transition includes investing in major electric grid upgrades and cleaner generation, including natural gas, nuclear, renewables, and energy storage [2].
