Thousands of Maritime Electric customers in multiple communities across Queens County are without power Saturday morning.

The utility said in a Facebook post it has identified the cause of the outage affecting customers in Clyde River, Rice Point, Canoe Cove, Emyvale, Riverdale, Kingston and surrounding areas.

Remaining customers should be prepared to be without power for at least four hours.

“Technicians are working on repairs at the Clyde River substation and have restored power to more than 2,000 customers,” the post reads, adding that updates will be provided as restoration efforts progress.

As of late morning, over 3,000 customers were without power, down from more that 6,000 earlier in the day, according to the Maritime Electric outage map
