A quick return to normal
« He is a contractor who was working on a roof and who removed the casing from a chimney flue and threw it off the roof without paying attention to the power line below », signals to The Ardennes ENEDIS communication.
If initially 422 homes were deprived of electricity, “ because the line supplies several villages », Power was quickly restored to the majority of homes. “ There are still 86 homes that do not have electricity but our team is hard at work to restore it by mid-afternoon », assured ENEDIS communication at the end of the morning.
