PRINCE GEORGE— BC Hydro has an overnight outage planned for July 11 from 8:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m. This outage was originally going to affect 3437 customers. However, due to adverse weather conditions B.C. Hydro has updated their plans and the outage will only affect 2689 customers.
“When the temperature becomes extreme, whether it’s extreme heat or it’s extreme cold. We take a look at every outage on a case by case basis and we’re able to go in and make some decisions on whether the work needs to actually go ahead as planned, or if we can cancel the planned outage and move it to a different time when the weather conditions are more favorable and it’s a much safer time for our not only employees, but also for customers who are impacted by the planned outage,” says Kyle Donaldson for B.C. Hydro.
The updated overnight outage is expected to move forward as Thursday’s temperatures dip to a high of 24 degrees,
