PRINCE GEORGE — Fewer people than originally anticipated will be affected by Sunday’s planned power outage in Prince George.

The outage will start at 7 p.m. on Sunday, March 30 and will wrap up at approximately 5 a.m. on Monday, March 31.

“This outage was originally planned to impact more than 14,000 customers but was recently revised to 12,000 after a re-assessment of the work that needs to take place,” says a BC Hydro news release.

“Customers who will no longer be impacted by this planned outage have already received cancellation notifications including automated telephone calls and postcards. BC Hydro is now issuing a second round of notifications to all customers who will still be affected by this upcoming work on Sunday evening.”

BC Hydro says the outage is needed so it can conduct important system repairs and upgrades which will help prevent future unplanned outages that could be longer and more disruptive.
