Power coming back on in NC, substation repaired, as FBI seeks information

FBI NC Moore County United States Carthage North Carolina Pinehurst Raleigh Duke Energy

RALEIGH, N.C. — Power has been restored for thousands of the Moore County, North Carolina, households and businesses that lost it, including the hospital in Pinehurst and some homes in Carthage.

Power returned to the 402-bed FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital around 9 a.m. Wednesday, said Gretchen Kelly, a spokesperson for the hospital. Since the widespread power outage started after an attack on two electrical substations, the hospital has been operating on a backup generator. The hospital is now in the hours-long process of transitioning from generator power to full power.

While the attacks initially struck 45,000 customers and their families, Duke Energy had whittled that number down to 23,000 by Wednesday morning.
