DOE response personnel have been activated and are on the ground in Puerto Rico & the US Virgin Islands to assess the disaster’s impacts to the energy sector, restore energy systems to full capacity, & identify any unmet needs that may require federal support or coordination (3/)
As of 2 PM ET today, 93% of customers in Puerto Rico are without power.
Since the island-wide power outage began yesterday afternoon, approximately 108,000 customers have had their power restored.
1.37 million are still experiencing outages. (4/)

As of 10:30 AM ET today, 10% of customers (5,500) in the U.S. Virgin Islands are without power.
That's down from a storm peak of 14,000 outages.
We should expect to see fluctuations in these numbers as part of large-scale restoration efforts across the region. (6/)

As conditions permit, damage assessments & restoration efforts are expected to get underway today.
Due to the magnitude of the outage + ongoing impacts of #Fiona, the local transmission/distribution operator estimates full power restoration will take at least several days. (7/)

That's all for now. @ENERGY will continue to monitor the situation and will work closely with partners on the ground to get electrical services back as quickly as possible.
