GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — Power has been restored across Northeast Wisconsin in the wake of powerful storms last week that left over 175,000 without power.
It took 900 line workers five days to get the power back on, but get it back on they did–and not a moment too soon. WPS’s Brandon Conway says it’s a good thing they got things going again before the heat hit.
“Mother nature went from really hot weather at the beginning of last week, strong storms in the middle of the week, and just as we get it restored, she brings the heat again,” Conway told WTAQ.
The good news is that he doesn’t anticipate there being any issues with the power grid amid the heat wave.
“We have enough generation. We don’t think there are going to be any issues with our grid this summer. We have enough to meet everyone’s needs.” Conway does add that if you run your air conditioner throughout the entire heat wave, you can expect your bill to be much higher.
