Statement from Mayor de Blasio on Preliminary Power Outage Findings
from Con Edison
July 15, 2019
"The city that never sleeps cannot be left in the dark. While I
appreciate that Con Edison released their preliminary findings so
quickly, I am troubled that one of the few factors Con Edison
initially ruled out, the 13,000 volt cable, has been determined to be
the catalyst of the outage. Thankfully, as a result of the quick work
of our first responders, no one was injured and there was no spike in
crime in the five hours the incident lasted. Our City cannot be left
in the dark like this ever again, and we will continue to push Con
Edison for a full accounting of this incident to ensure they are
taking necessary steps to protect all New Yorkers."
