We currently have 8,896 members without power in our Salisbury and Berlin areas. Delmarva Power has lost a transmission line between Worschester and North Salisbury. Crews are en route to investigate the problem.

UPDATE:

Ok, folks, here's the latest update: All members being fed from Ocean Pines and New Hope substations appear to have their power restored. We still have no power to members being fed from Walston Switch substation in the Salisbury area. This currently leaves 1,208 members without power at this time. We appear to have had a bird’s nest in the substation which caused equipment to fail. If you are experiencing an outage other than described above please call our Outage Reporting number at 1.800.410.4790. We appreciate your patience as our crews work quickly and safely to restore power to our members!
