Default Power to the People

Sometimes, power outages on Bear Island are caused by events off-island, so the entire island is affected. 💡 🐻

Default Power

For what it's worth, Mink Island still has power. Since the power lines run from Mainland to Bear Island to Mark Island and then to Mink Island, it would seem to suggest that the outages are somehow more localized on Bear.

Just checked with NHEC office in Plymouth, and they say all of Bear is out. They won't fix it til ice out at the earliest.
