| Lot's Of Blue And Green ... We Like It! |
Fairfax residents can be thankful for a lot of things this Independence Day, especially their power company. Compared to its Maryland counterpart, Pepco, Dominion has done an excellent job in restoring power to the region. When the storm hit, nearly half a million residents of Northern Virginia lost their electricity. That number has now fallen to 16,239.
Over this same period of time, Pepco went from around 400,000 outages to 38,421.
Nevertheless Pepco is standing by its performance. As reported in the Washington Post, the company recently stated that it has restored power to 90% of its customers two days earlier than anticipated.
Are Pepco’s claims justified? It is hard to say from where I’m sitting, across the river in my electrified Virginia home. But I have a feeling that there are plenty of Pepco customers out there that aren’t feeling the same gratitude toward their own power company as I am.
