TL;DR Summary

Over 65,000 Memphis Light Gas and Water (MLGW) customers were without power due to 655 outages caused by storms on Sunday, June 25. MLGW called it the sixth worst power outage in Memphis history and warned that restoration could take multiple days. MLGW President Dough McGowen said that the company's infrastructure improvement plan will solve most of these issues, but admitted that they are behind on the plan partly due to COVID. Crews are working to repair damage, but customers should prepare for extended outages.
