Please be advised that PSNH will be taking an emergency outage at 6 a.m. tomorrow, Sat. July 10th, for up to 30 minutes to replace a damaged substation regulator at a substation on Depot Street in Merrimack.

We suspect that the cause of this equipment failure is the extended heat wave, which has increased the loading on the substation regulator and caused a mechanical malfunction was discovered today. The damaged equipment will be replaced tomorrow at 6 a.m. to minimize disruption to customers. Over the weekend, PSNH electricians will make permanent repairs.
