Iqalummiut should expect power outages on Sunday night and Tuesday morning, Nunavut’s power generation company says.
Two community-wide outages are required for Qulliq Energy Corp. to do upgrades for the interconnection of a new generator, a company announcement issued Friday says.
On Sunday, a community-wide outage will take place from 9 to 10 p.m.
On Tuesday, an outage will occur from 5 to 6 a.m.
This new generator is replacing an 31 year old genset. Improved power capabilities and cleaner fuel emissions. Iqaluit is in for a treat with this new bad boy. It’s exciting.
That’s great context! Would be nice if Nunatsiaq provided that instead of just the same information from QEC’s public notice.
