ONEONTA—New York State Electric and Gas released its daily restoration plan for post-storm repair work that will be completed on Tuesday, December 12. NYSEG expects that impacted customers will have service restored by 10 p.m. As of 8 a.m., about 1,300 customers remained without power in the Oneonta Division’s service area.

The company has mobilized additional resources and sent more than 500 service personnel into the field to restore power.
