Rhode Island Energy, a PPL Corporation utility, restored power to more than 99% of over 50,000 customers within 48 hours after Winter Storm Hernando brought nearly 33 inches of heavy snow and wind gusts over 70 mph that downed trees and damaged power lines. Crews continue restoration work for remaining outages, with full service expected by Thursday, and the company urged the public to stay clear of downed power lines and report hazards immediately.
