City of Clinton Police Department issued the following announcement on Dec. 23.
Due to extreme cold driving unusually high energy demand in the Carolinas, we have begun short, temporary power outages across our system.
These emergency outages are necessary to protect the energy grid against longer, more widespread outages.
The majority of these emergency outages will be restored remotely within 15 - 30 minutes; however, in some cases, a crew will need to be dispatched, extending restoration times.
Also, it is possible that other unrelated factors, such as downed tree limbs, are also causing outages at the same time. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we respond to this emergency situation.
