Eversource Creates New Technology To Reduce Outage Time

(Hooksett, NH) Eversource has created some new technology that’s aimed at reducing the amount of time customers are affected by power outages.

Speaking of the Rapid Pole, @hbarndollar visited us last week to learn more about the new technology. https://t.co/KBlyZszLVt

It’s called a trailered rapid pole and it can take on the electrical load of a broken pole until it is repaired. Normally it takes a few hours for poles to be fixed, but crews can have the rapid pole up and running in just minutes because it’s powered by batteries.

Looking forward to seeing our award-winning Rapid Pole on @WMUR9 later today! Be sure to check out the interview with its inventor Tim McHugh! pic.twitter.com/5jrOH9Mmgs

Eversource wants to have eight of these poles placed across the state by the end of the year.
