Con Ed grilled over power outages--again.

The article presents information on the recent power outage in New York city that left about 400,000 Consolidated Edison Co.'s customers in the dark for about an hour. The utility initially has said multiple lightning strikes at an Astoria substation may have tripped massive circuit breakers, causing power to stop flowing to the Upper East Side and parts of the South Bronx. The utility is overseen by the State Public Service Commission.
