BC Hydro planning a massive power outage

It might be time to double check your flashlight batteries.

BC Hydro is planning to turn off power for 10,500 customers on Sunday
(September 15th) between 7:00 and 5:00.

This will affect several communities along Highway 16, including:

  • Carnaby
  • Cedarvale
  • Gitanmaax
  • Gitanyow
  • Gitsegukla
  • Glen Vowell
  • Hagwilget
  • Hazelton
  • New Hazelton
  • South Hazeltown
  • Smithers
  • Kispiox
  • Kitwancool
  • Kitwanga
  • Moricetown
  • Telkwa
  • Sik E Dakh
  • Two Mile

This is so crews can move an existing 138 kilovolt transmission line near Telkwa in preparation of a new capacitor station, part of the Prince George to Terrace Capacitors Stations Project.
