Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro (Hydro) is advising customers in the Upper Lake Melville area that a Power Watch is in effect for tomorrow (Friday, February 1^st) beginning at 8:00 a.m.

System demand is expected to be high during peak periods tomorrow morning, with very cold weather forecast in the area as well as equipment offline in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

We are not anticipating any issues tomorrow morning, however we are monitoring the system closely. No customer action is required at this time, but customers are asked to be prepared to conserve in the event the situation changes. We will advise customers if the status changes.

This advisory is part of Hydro’s ongoing commitment to keeping customers more informed and educated on the status of the electricity system and system events. Learn more about how Hydro’s  Advance Notification System and how to conserve effectively if asked here:  www.nlhydro.com/winter
