BC Hydro confirmed its planned power outage impacting around 12,000 customers in Prince George.
The outage is expected to begin Sunday starting at 7:00pm, until around 5:00am on Monday for Prince George, Beaverly, Hoferkamp, Miworth, Ness Lake, and Willow River.
Dave Mosure with BC Hydro’s Community Relations explains the outage is happening.
“The outage is needed so BC Hydro can conduct important system repairs and upgrades which will help prevent further unplanned outages that could be longer and more disruptive.”
Mosure says the outage was originally supposed to affect over 14,000 customers, but was revised after a reassessment of the needed work.
Those now unaffected will got a cancellation notification, with a second round of confirmation notification to those that are affected by the outage.
