Good Day Everyone:

THIS PLANNED POWEROUTAGE HAS BEEN POSTPONED
We're performing work on our system in your area that requires us to temporarily turn off your electricity service.

Planned power outage details (WO TM0124 2130 BIFO)
Location: ALERT BAY

From: Monday, August 26, 2024 02:00 AM (estimated)

Prepare for the outage
Before the outage begins, turn off electric heaters, major appliances and unplug sensitive electronics to protect them from damage. If you rely on electric medical equipment or access doors, have a plan to maintain use.

Why we plan power outages
Planned outages allow us to safely maintain and improve our electric system, which helps reduce the frequency of unplanned outages caused by storms and equipment failures. We understand that outages are inconvenient, and we appreciate your patience.
