I don’t know. They started out at 100k. They’re now at 78,113. The storm is still going on so they can’t be everywhere. They’re steadily reducing the number. I’d assume the vast majority of people will back on by tonight with some outliers that had extensive damage, needing a little longer. They always over estimate so they don’t over promise.

I’m aware of who our Governor is. The Governor and other state officials, not PURA, challenged Eversource and UI, to get “creative” and come up with ways to help low income and at risk customers. This is one of the ways they thought they could help. It was approved by PURA and the state, to go forward, as a pilot program. People are upset that it was allowed. They are upset that any customer could automatically be enrolled without consent. The state had a hand in that. That shouldn’t be ignored.
