Planned power outage to impact about 8,500 customers on Sunday in North Thompson: BC Hydro
BC Hydro is planning a power outage for infrastructure maintenance that will impact about 8,500 customers on Sunday (Oct. 6) in the North Thompson area.
The outage is expected to begin at 7 a.m. and conclude at 7 p.m.
Susan Edgell, a stakeholder engagement advisor in community relations for BC Hydro, said the outage will range from Heffley Creek up to and including Blue River.
Edgell said Valemount and McBride are on the affected transmission line, but both towns have independent power producers that will keep their lights on.
