Nearly all northeast Wisconsin customers have power following Wednesday's storms
All but about 30 WEC Energy Group customers in northeast Wisconsin affected by Wednesday night's severe storms have their power restored.
We Energies' outage map shows 150 total outages in its service area as of 11:30 a.m. Monday.
Wisconsin Public Service's outage summary shows only one customer in Door County is still without power in the region. Across the state, only five other customers are affected.
WEC Energy Group, which is both groups' parent company, had expected power to be restored to remaining customers over the weekend.
In total, more than 175,000 customers lost power Wednesday, and most WPS and We Energies customers had power restored by Thursday. However, extensive storm damage, including snapped utility poles, has meant more time was needed to fix outages in parts of the Fox Valley and Green Bay areas, WEC Energy Group Senior Communication Specialist Matt Cullen said in a statement.
WPS had estimated power would be restored to remaining customers by the end of Saturday, while We Energies estimated Sunday afternoon.
