As of 1:05 a.m. on New Year’s Day, power had been restored to all but one Lincoln County household. Throughout Maine, Central Maine Power Co. crews continued to work through the nighttime hours of New Year’s Eve, even as they faced deteriorating weather conditions, including snow, sleet, and rain. By the morning of New Year’s Day, the power was back on at that last residence, on Philbrick Lane in Whitefield, according to CMP.
Power has been restored to 7,594 Lincoln County homes since the height of a late-week storm that pummeled the area from Thursday night into Friday morning, according to CMP.
