Kentucky Power hopes to have more than 300 line mechanics in the field by Wednesday (July 15) to restore electricity to areas that lost service during recent storm activity this week.
Spokeswoman Allison Barker says the utility has requested help from at other states, including Indiana and South Carolina.
Because of the extent of damage and difficulties in reaching trouble spots in mountainous terrain, Barker says it could take a couple of days to get everyone’s power back on.
