BC Hydro asking some Haida Gwaii customers to conserve electricity use for the next few days.
The utility says the reason for the appeal is that it’s experiencing “technical issues” at the Sandspit Generating Station.
Customers in Queen Charlotte, Skidegate, Tlell, and Sandspit should turn off all unnecessary items and watch their electricity use during peak times at breakfast and dinner.
Hydro says conserving energy will help keep the lights and heat on for everyone during the cold snap.
The utility says it is working hard to restore full service as soon as possible, but is asking residents to watch their power usage until November 29th.
