In total over 90% of our communities had their power restored, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our power line crews and teams.

Communities still affected include Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Port Perry and Uxbridge. Today we were able to bring back power to many customers in these communities including 750 customers in Uxbridge. We would like to extend our thanks to our customers, crews, arborists and municipal partners for keeping restoration efforts moving safely and quickly.  We anticipate that we will be able to make more progress tomorrow. For regular updates refer to our outage map and on Twitter.

Important Reminders:

• If you area is listed on our outage map, we are aware of the situation and we are working to restore power as quickly and as safe as possible.
• If you are currently without power and are on life support or have a medical device supported by electricity, please contact your medical service provider for assistance.
• If you are currently without power, you may need a licensed electrical contractor to make repairs before we can restore your power. Visit the Electrical Safety Authority’s website for more information.
