About 95% of customers impacted by four rounds of severe storms restored; work continues Sunday to bring remaining customers<\/i><\/p>\n

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nComEd crews are entering the final stretch of restoration efforts after four rounds of severe weather swept across northern Illinois beginning Thursday night, with additional storms rolling through Friday and a fourth system striking on Saturday. In total, nearly 297,000 customers were impacted across the service territory. As of 11:30 a.m. Sunday, ComEd had restored power to more than 283,000 customers, with roughly 14,000 remaining without service. About 95 percent of impacted customers have been restored, and crews will continue working around the clock through the holiday weekend to safely bring every customer back online.<\/p>\n

\nThe most severe impacts were felt in ComEd’s north and south regions, with Tinley Park, Burbank, Homewood and several southern wards in the City of Chicago among the hardest-hit areas. Crews continue clearing extensive tree damage and rebuilding portions of the electric system in these communities.<\/p>\n

\nMore than 1,900 ComEd personnel and contractors are dedicated to restoration efforts, working in shifts around the clock to ensure power is restored safely to all customers.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019ve seen an unprecedented series of storms move through northern Illinois over the last few days, each bringing new damage to communities that were already working to recover,\u201d said David Perez<\/b><\/a>, executive vice president and COO of ComEd<\/b>. \u201cOur crews are out in force and will continue working safely through the holiday weekend to get every customer restored as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nComEd thanks the dedicated men and women who have worked long hours to respond to these storms \u2014 stepping away from their families and braving adverse weather conditions to repair the grid and get customers back online. We are also grateful to customers for their patience and understanding as restoration continues.<\/p>\n

\nPublic safety is paramount, and ComEd encourages customers to take the following precautions:<\/p>\n
