Nearly 6000 residents from West Ocean City to Newark to just west of Berlin lost power Saturday just after 11am. Over 5500 were customers of Delmarva Power – and about 470 members of Choptank Electric Cooperative. According to Choptank’s Facebook page, Delmarva Power was having problems with a transformer that feeds the Ironshire Substation. Delmarva Power was able to restore power to its customers by noon – and the Co-op quickly followed about 15 minutes later with all power restored.
