Storm Update 8: 4:35 PM
Posted on: December 20, 2023 - 4:54pm

As of 4:35 pm, fewer than 150 Scituate customers served by National Grid are without power. Residents of Scituate currently facing power outages reside in the areas within Scituate most severely affected by Monday's storm, with downed trees, poles, and wires. National Grid teams and contracted crews are putting in dedicated efforts to restore power by midnight tonight, although full power restoration may extend until noon tomorrow. 

If you are a Scituate resident experiencing a power outage and anticipating needing shelter tonight, please contact 781-545-8748.

National Grid crews will never request money from residents. There have been reported cases in surrounding towns where tree cleanup crews falsely claimed affiliation with National Grid and sought payment for their services.

Please check in on your elderly or disabled neighbors, especially during these challenging circumstances. Extend a helping hand by ensuring they are safe and comfortable and have access to any assistance they might need.

For any emergency situation and downed wires, please call 911 or 781-545-1212 for non-emergencies. Please contact National Grid at 1-800-465-1212 to report an outage. Ensure generators are operated outdoors and away from living spaces.
