As the largest community on Chicago's North Shore, Evanston's aging electrical infrastructure and dense tree canopy create reliable conditions for power outages. Summer storms and winter ice events regularly affect neighborhoods from South Evanston to the lakefront — and because Evanston has ComEd overhead lines throughout much of the city, restoration can take time. For the full local numbers behind that pattern, see ComEd outages on the North Shore, explained.
