Hydro is advising residents of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Mud Lake, Sheshatshiu and North West River that an outage is planned for Sunday, October 5 from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

The outage is needed so we can safely perform critical repairs and energize new equipment at the Happy Valley Terminal Station. This work will help reduce unexpected outages due to equipment issues in future, and ensure we can continue to provide reliable service to customers in the region.

The backup gas turbine unfortunately cannot be used to provide power during the outage because the work requires disconnecting terminal station equipment that is needed to operate the unit.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank our customers in Upper Lake Melville for your understanding as we complete this work. We make every effort to schedule planned outages so that impacts to customers are minimized.
