Henderson County is the biggest trouble spot with 10,700 outages. Crews and contractors are on the scene working to restore power. |
It is difficult for us to comment on specifics since it is a fluid process. However, it is important to note that Duke Power supports the intent of the legislation and the goal of providing a uniform safety net for citizens across the state. |
