Tens of thousands of households and businesses in central North Carolina were left without power for days as authorities investigated what they described as an orchestrated gunfire attack that disabled two substations
As of Wednesday afternoon, about 5,000 customers remained without power, according to Duke’s website.
“Duke Energy anticipates having nearly all customers restored by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday in the aftermath of an attack on two major substations Saturday in Moore County,” the company, which provides power to the area, said in a statement. Cooper on Tuesday had said “a serious national conversation” about protecting critical infrastructure was needed after the attack.
On Saturday night, utility workers investigating reports of widespread outages found gates broken and evidence of gunfire damage to equipment at two substations in the county.
