@portlandgeneral We are now 24 hours without power. No update, no crew dispatched. We need better.

So far today, we have restored power to 49,489 customers, with 135,611 remaining (as of 9:30 p.m.). We have more than 300 crew members, contractors and other personnel working to restore power as quickly as safety allows — with additional crews expected Sunday. Given the extent of damage and conditions that continue to cause damage, we will continue making repairs and assessing new damage through the night. Restoration efforts will continue through the weekend; customers are encouraged to plan accordingly. Our priority is always the safety of our workers, customers and communities. We appreciate customers’ patience and we’re working as quickly as safety allows. For more info, visit link in bio portlandgeneral.com/winter-storm-i….
