The towns affected included Damariscotta, Edgecomb, Newcastle, Nobleboro and Jefferson, according to CMP.
The power outage was caused by a downed tree on Mills Road in Newcastle near an electrical generating station at Damariscotta Mills, according to CMP spokesperson Gail Rice. Over 1800 customers were without power during the event.
