Cass County Electric expects full restoration of power Thursday

Beltrami County Electric sends other co-op crews home as they get down to just four accounts without power

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — One of the power companies working non-stop to restore power after last Friday’s storms has a promising update.

Cass County Electric says as of this morning, just 48 accounts remain without power.

They say line crews and field technicians are in the field and continuing restoration work.

They are also on track to complete full restoration today unless repairs are needed on the member’s side of the meter.

At one point they had around 5,000 members without power, nine substations offline and well over 100 power poles down.

Beltrami Electric Cooperative announced that this was its last full day of outage restoration from the storms.

They have sent other co-op crews home as they are down to just four members still without power.

The total number of broken poles in the co-op is 80.

They say they still have weeks of repairs and work to do to recover from the storms.
