We work hard to make sure you always have reliable power, but our weather can sometimes be unpredictable. Extreme cold, ice storms, high winds and wildfires all make it impossible for us to guarantee uninterrupted service. While most power outages only last a few minutes, in extreme cases some outages may last more than a day.

It’s important to know what to do to keep you and your loved ones safe during an outage. These are our top tips for staying safe when the lights go out.

Prepare for any weather emergency with information from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Emergency Preparedness website.
