Jan 25, 11:00PM – Newfoundland and Labradory Hydro is advising our customers in Burgeo that power will remain off overnight and into tomorrow.

Significant damage was found on the line caused by the severe freezing rain and wind.  The weather is preventing our crews from implementing repairs tonight.

Crews will complete a full assessment of damage at first light and begin repairs.  An update on estimated power restoration will be provided once the crew completes this assessment.

We understand that this is challenging for our customers.  Please stay safe – check on your family, friends and neighbours.
