Keeping Southampton Village Businesses Running Through a Nor’easter
Artie recalls the thick, damp air of the summer 2003 nor’easter that plunged Southampton Village into darkness for days. The howling wind and relentless rain knocked out power lines, leaving shops and restaurants without electricity. The local economy was on the edge as refrigeration failed and customers disappeared, threatening business closures right in the heart of this historic, affluent area.
We deployed an N+1 redundant generator setup within hours, ensuring no single generator failure could interrupt power. Our crew quickly connected multiple units, balancing the load seamlessly across Southampton Village’s key commercial zones, including near St. Andrew’s Dune Church. This redundancy kept everything running smoothly, preserving perishable goods and business operations until the grid power returned.
Thanks to Artie’s crew, our restaurant stayed open through the storm without a single power hiccup.
