Dominion restores power to most in Virginia

NEW YORK, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Dominion Resources Inc (D.N) said on Friday about 99,000 homes and businesses still had no power after the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida combined with a nor'easter, leaving more than 335,000 in the dark Thursday.

Dominion said in a release it expected to restore power to virtually all customers by Sunday night.

Trees and limbs knocked down by near hurricane force winds caused most of the damage, the company said, forcing tree crews to clear debris before line crews restored power in many cases.

Flooding also left many locations temporarily inaccessible to Dominion crews.

Dominion owns more than 27,000 megawatts of generation, transmits and distributes power to more than 2.4 million customers in Virginia and North Carolina, operates the nation's largest natural gas storage system and markets energy in 12 states.
