Elexicon Energy yesterday announced planned power outages in the City of Pickering.
The first one will take place on Sunday March 14 and the second on Sunday March 21, both from 6 am to am.
Electrical system upgrades being performed. Approximately 1,600 customers will be affected, said an Elexicon statement.
To ensure that our electricity distribution network continues to operate in peak condition, Elexicon Energy conducts important maintenance and construction work that sometimes requires power to be temporarily disrupted for residents and/or businesses, it said.
Power outages are an inconvenience and Elexicon Energy makes every effort possible to keep the interruption time as short as possible. Customers that will be affected by a planned outage are notified in advance, and are encouraged to make alternate arrangements if they:
- Are on life support
- Have electric sump pumps
- Have computer equipment
- Have an electric garage door opener
- Have a security company monitoring their home and/or business
- Have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms electronically connected to their home’s power supply without battery back-up
