More than 700,000 people across the state lost power, and it took Eversource more than a week to restore power to all of its customers.

The state's Public Utilities Regulatory Authority has launched an investigation into both companies' storm preparedness and response.

PURA held a public hearing on the recent Eversource rate hike earlier this week.

They plan to held several public hearings in October regarding both Eversource and UI's response to Tropical Storm Isaias.
