Hydro-Québec

The freezing rain that accumulated in some areas overnight weighed down vegetation and caused power outages. Every effort is being made to restore power as quickly as possible.

With the heat and rain, many regions of Quebec are currently affected by #flooding.

What to do if your home is affected by flooding?

Before water begins to flood the basement, turn off the power throughout the house.

If there is water in the basement, don't touch anything and call us.

The strong winds sweeping across several regions of Quebec are currently causing power #outages, with gusts of over 90 km/h in some areas. Winds are expected to decrease in the evening.

Our crews are mobilized to restore service as quickly as possible.

The breakdown of a transformer at Charland substation is causing a power outage in Montreal, currently affecting around 51,000 customers.

Our crews are on site to restore service by transferring the load to other transformers. This is being done gradually, so as not to create an overload with the high demand for electricity due to the cold weather, which would lead to further outages. Service will therefore be restored gradually over the next few hours.

Protection mechanisms have been triggered at the Des Sources substation in Dollard-des-Ormeaux. It is currently causing an outage affecting 60,000 customers, mainly in the West Island of Montreal.

Our teams are mobilized on the scene to determine the cause and restore service as quickly as possible. The service restoration time is not available at this time. Thank you for your patience.
