OUTAGE ADVISORY: Planned Outage, Labrador West – September 15

Hydro is reminding all customers in Labrador City, Wabush and area that there is a planned outage from midnight tonight (12:00 a.m.) until 11:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, September 15, while we complete work in the Wabush terminal station.

While the work is being carried out, customers in Labrador City may experience periodic outages between 3:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. This is expected due to the nature of the work, and all customers should be fully restored by 11:00 a.m.

When the work is complete tomorrow, we will gradually begin restoring power to customers to allow the system to load back up and stabilize. To help avoid overloading the system when power is restored, during the outage customers are asked to turn down electric heat by a few degrees, switch off major appliances/electronics, and turn off most lights.
