From challenge to
completed project
In March 2018, two powerful storms hit the Northeast in quick succession, leaving almost 3 million people without power at the peak. Utilities needed extra crews who could mobilize fast and stay for a sustained response, and Spark Power crews stayed on the restoration through both storms.
How we
solved it
- Supported large-scale, multi-state storm restoration following back-to-back nor’easters
- Restored overhead primary and secondary distribution systems across impacted regions
- Coordinated deployment and execution with multiple utility partners
- Rapid mobilization of crews and resources for sustained emergency response operations
- Performed safe, efficient line restoration under high-pressure outage conditions
The metrics
that matter
- Power restored during widespread multi-state outage. Restoration successfully completed across Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey following two consecutive storm events.
- Delivered safely, on time, and on budget at $550K. Full scope completed without safety incidents, schedule overruns, or budget exceedances.
- Scalable emergency response demonstrated across multiple utilities. Coordinated with multiple utility partners simultaneously, proving cross-jurisdiction deployment capability.
- Rapid mobilization under sustained outage conditions. Crews mobilized quickly and maintained performance across both storms and multiple impacted regions.
