Power Outage - Fort McPherson
Update 2

Electricity supply has been restored in Fort McPherson and the system is stable.

As of Wednesday morning, the Corporation is meeting the electricity demand of the community and this is being helped by customers who continue to conserve power.

Another 800kw generator is being transported to Fort McPherson and it is expected to be installed over the weekend. This new generator will further improve the stability of the system for the medium term.

Cause of the fire has not yet been established.
