Gulf Power, EREC Restore Power For 30,000 Customers After Gordon
September 6, 2018
Gulf Power crews continued to work Wednesday night to restore power to the last hundred or so customers still without power with help from their sister company, Georgia Power.
Crews worked nonstop since Tuesday morning to restore power to customers following widespread outages caused by heavy winds and rain in the wake of Tropical Storm Gordon. They were joined Wednesday morning by sister company Georgia Power, contractors and fresh Gulf Power crews from the Panama City and Fort Walton Beach areas.
Nearly 27,0000 Gulf Power customers lost power during Gordon, with the majority of outages occurring in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
Escambia River Electric Cooperative reported about 1,550 customers lost power in Escambia County and about 2,100 in Santa Rosa County. That’s about one-third of all EREC customers. All were back on by Wednesday afternoon.
