Duke Energy confirmed on X that hundreds of power substations are offline across the Carolinas.
We initially reported on this unfolding power grid crisis Wednesday morning in a note titled Grid Apocalypse Hits Carolinas: 360 Substations Down, Power Restoration Could Take “Months,” citing experts who warned, “It could take a very long time to restore power to everyone” due to shortages of transformers and other electrical equipment and critically low US stockpiles.
“Approximately 370 substations were out of service from the storm in the Duke Energy Carolinas service area. For those that were damaged and can’t be repaired in a timely manner – mobile substations will be installed to allow us to restore service as soon as it is safe to do so,” Duke wrote on X.
