Con Edison crews have restored electric service to 80 percent of the customers affected by Hurricane Irene.

Approximately 150,100 of the 187,800 customers who lost power as a result of the storm have been restored to service. Nearly all New York City customer restorations are expected to be completed late tonight, and nearly all Westchester customers are expected back in service by late Thursday night.

Flooded roads, inundated manholes, and littered and twisted tree limbs, trunks, and downed wires continue to hamper restoration efforts.

At 3:45 PM on Monday August 29th 2011 Con Edison reported that:

Due to the overwhelming demand for dry ice all along the East Coast, supplies are extremely limited.  Con Edison will distribute dry ice today until supplies run out.  The company will schedule further distribution if more dry ice becomes available.

The company has distributed 80,000 pounds of dry ice since yesterday.  Con Edison apologizes for any inconvenience to customers.

At 5:30 AM on Monday August 29th 2011 Con Edison announced that it would be distributing dry ice in New York City:

Dry ice will be distributed on Monday, August 29, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Instructions for safe handling and disposal are printed on the bag for residents who pick up dry ice. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide and should be used only in well-ventilated areas. Keep children and pets safely away.

At 7:00 AM on Monday August 29th 2011 Con Edison reported that:

As New Yorkers say good riddance to the hurricane that shuttered the transit system and brought the city to a virtual halt, over 106,000 of the utility’s 3.2 million customers remain out of service.

Con Edison crews spent most of Sunday assessing the damage and prioritizing work, even as they and crews from as far away as Texas, Colorado and Kansas managed to restore 81,900 customers as of early this morning.  Con Edison said 187,900 customers lost power as a result of Irene.
