Many of the smaller areas will be restored by the end of the day today. Some areas require extensive excavating, tree debris removal, power line, and pole repairs. The areas of north Pickering and Uxbridge, will continue to have dedicated crews working on restoration until everyone is energized. Weather permitting, crews will continue to work 24/7 on power restoration efforts.

“We remain confident that if there are no new surprises today, we will see all areas in our service territory restored by late tonight with the exception of some difficult repairs and neighbourhoods with particular issues.,” said Elexicon Energy, President, and CEO, Indrani Butany-DeSouza. “This progress is because of the work and dedication of the Elexicon Energy employees, both external crews and internal support teams, who continue to work around the clock and have sacrificed time with their families and other obligations to power our communities.”

Elexicon Energy is also grateful for the community support we have received from our contractors, municipal partners, and customers. You have been the eyes and ears and helped us energize the homes and businesses of customers across our vast territory. It has not been easy work. However, everyone worked together to support the communities that we serve.
