INDIANAPOLIS — Wind gusts of up to 55 mph brought by Hurricane Helene on Friday caused significant damage to AES Indiana's service area.
Approximately 97,000 customers were left without power.
In an update on Sunday, AES said they have restored power to 91% of customers.
"Going into Sunday evening, we have 94 crews who will continue to work on the 700+ incidents of damage that remain across our service territory still impacting 9,600 customers," AES said.
The electric company said additional help is headed to Indy from Massachusetts due to the number of incidents and severity of damage.
AES expects full restoration to be complete on Tuesday.
"We ask for customers continued patience. Helene caused catastrophic and historic damage across multiple states. Restoring power safely is our top priority and we ask that the public keep in mind our people in the field put their lives on the line to power yours. Please be kind," AES said.
