A community-wide power outage is planned for Iqaluit on Friday morning.
Residents can expect to be without power for one hour, from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m., Qulliq Energy Corp. announced Thursday.
The power outage is necessary so workers can install a new generator. The outage will impact all customers.
One day later, yet another power outage. Explain to us, please, in layman’s terms, why there have been more power outages on the last six month than in the last ten years put together? Today’s explanation is “due to issues in feeder one.” No idea what that means. I thought I understood what yesterday’s power outage was about. They said it was to ensure safe electrical connections for the installation of a new generator.
I appreciate the fact that we have power, and I understand the geneneator is old, but something is terribly wrong here, and a more thoughtfully worded explanation is necessary.
