CBS New York August 14, 2021 Con Ed says a voltage reduction has ended after asking residents on Staten Island and in Westchester County to conserve energy while crews repaired equipment that has been damaged from days of extreme heat. On Staten Island, power has been fully restored to 6,000 customers who were left in the dark Friday. But voltage there had been reduced by five percent. The energy company had also asked more than 39,000 customers in north and south parts of the island to limit use of appliances.
