The MTA is denying a report that the agency recorded an inflated number of power-related incidents during the so-called "Summer of Hell."

According to the Daily News, the move led Governor Andrew Cuomo to place blame on Con Edison as a source for the commuter disruptions.

Back in April, Cuomo called for an investigation into Con Ed's infrastructure after a power failure at a Midtown subway station caused massive service problems.

But the Daily News says it obtained emails showing that MTA officials tried using Con Ed as a scapegoat by expanding the definition of what constitutes a power-related incident.

The move reportedly raised the number of power delays from 8,000 to 32,000.

An MTA spokesperson tells NY1 the agency did not fix the numbers to reflect more power delays.
