PEPCO - We have POWER! -- September 14, 2011

PEPCO completed the final few steps to connect our electrical panel to the grid Tuesday evening, September 13. This morning, MC Dean, our electrical contractor, added the final touches and flipped the switch. With this step completed we not only have a dedicated source for electricty but are also able to activate 24 hour/day coverage for our fire alarm system and intrusion alarm system. Progress.

PEPCO was originally scheduled to complete this work in August but Hurricane Irene disrupted its schedule. PEPCO crews were deployed throughout the metro area to restore power to thousands of existing customers who lost power because of the hurricane before adding new customers. Fortunately we were able to operate with generator power for the past few weeks until a crew could hook us up.
