Planned power outage will affect thousands of Prince George residents
PRINCE GEORGE—B.C. Hydro is planning a power outage for this Saturday (May 25) evening. The bulk of the electrical work will occur on Ospika Boulevard but crews will be doing other upgrades on the grid.
“Other departments within B.C. Hydro are also piggybacking on the outage to accomplish other necessary tasks to upgrade the infrastructure. So, that’s going to avoid the need for even more planned outages in the future,” explains Susie Rieder, a spokesperson for B.C. Hydro.
