Why Putnam needs generators
Most of the county is served by NYSEG, with Central Hudson on the western side around Cold Spring and Garrison. Both utilities run overhead lines through heavily wooded terrain, which is why a single storm can drop power to most of the county at once, as Isaias did in 2020. Homes on wells lose water as well as light. Homes with oil or propane heat lose heat, because the burner and circulator need electricity. A standby generator covers all of it.
Permits by town
Every town requires a building permit and inspection for a standby generator. The installer files it. If you want to ask your town directly:
