Duke Energy estimates power will be restored in Moore County by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday following a targeted attack on two substations that left tens of thousands of customers without electricity over the weekend. "They're working around the clock to bring some equipment in to try to get it on as quickly as they can," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said. The attack has raised concerns about potential security weaknesses in the power grid. During a news conference Monday, Cooper said this should be viewed as a learning experience for the state and Duke Energy. "I'm always concerned about critical infrastructure," Cooper said. "I think we need to learn from this incident because these kinds of things cannot happen. We cannot tolerate this kind of wide power outage to so many people."
