Illinois crews deployed to boost NW Indiana power restoration
ComEd sent more than 60 employees to northwest Indiana to assist NIPSCO with ongoing power outages that began after Aug. 11 storms. With thousands still without electricity, restoration efforts continue as utility crews work around the clock. The relief effort also includes a $200,000 donation from the Chicago Bears to storm relief efforts, while governor and local groups push for aid and relief; NIPSCO defends its vegetation management amid a related lawsuit and notes it is suspending disconnections for a week to help affected customers.
