BC Hydro confirmed its planned power outage impacting thousands customers in Prince George.
The outage is expected to begin tonight (Sunday) starting at 7:00pm, until around 5:00am on Monday for Prince George, Beaverly, Hoferkamp, Miworth, Ness Lake, and Willow River.
“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,” BC Hydro Spokesperson Dave Mosure said in an interview with My PG Now earlier this week.
At the time the interview took place (Wednesday), Mosure had anticipated 12,000 customers would be impacted, however, BC Hydro’s outages page shows more than 15,000 customers will be impacted by two separate outages tonight.
