Berkeley Electric Cooperative dispatched a repair crew to New Jersey Sunday to help with recovery from Hurricane Sandy.

The Moncks Corner-based utility sent 16 lineworkers and about 50 contractors to the northeastern state, where Sandy is expected to make landfall this evening.

They will arrive and help Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative near Sussex, N.J., after the storm passes, according to Berkeley Electric spokesman Eddie McKnight.
