Gov. Dannel Malloy has told his state agency commissioners to help in an investigation into why hundreds of thousands of residents and businesses had no power for more than a week following a powerful pre-Halloween snowstorm.
At a meeting on Tuesday with the commissioners, Malloy also urged agencies to review action plans and how they responded to the storm and its aftermath.
Connecticut Light & Power says about 18,000 customers are still without power on Tuesday afternoon, 10 days after the storm dumped a foot of snow in parts of the state and brought down trees, branches and power lines.
CL&P has promised that all customers will have power restored by Wednesday night, something an official in Simsbury appears to think is a bit optimistic.
The state investigation will look at restoration plans by CL&P and United Illuminating.
