As much as 1 million customers were without power during Irene, plus some utilities were criticized for his or her storm response. Criticism was focused particularly with the New york Power Authority and The big apple State Electric & Gas in northern Westchester and Putnam counties. Some customers were without power for over four days.

Tropical Storm Lee knocked power in the market to areas of the Southern Tier for pretty much a week.

The PSC, which oversees the state's utilities, typically reviews how major power outages within the state were handled during storms.
"At the height of Hurricane Irene's catastrophic impact, nearly one million with the state's utility customers -- mostly residences, along with businesses as well as other institutions, were without power," Cuomo said in the statement. "In many cases, service wasn't restored for several days."

The commission noted that besides electrical outages, many areas of the state of hawaii, like the Southern Tier, faced propane and water-service disruptions. Also, nearly 735,000 wireless phone customers were without service due to downed wires, and damaged utility poles and underground cables.
