Hydro Qu\u00e9bec wishes to inform residents that the intense cold expected through February 9 is putting significant pressure on the electricity network in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


With very cold temperatures forecast for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the grid could reach its maximum capacity. Without a reduction in electricity use, short, temporary and controlled power outages may be required.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hydro Qu\u00e9bec is asking for everyone\u2019s cooperation by reducing electricity consumption during periods of high demand, specifically:
– from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m
– from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you can help:
– lower your heating by a few degrees and heat only occupied rooms;
– postpone the use of large appliances, such as the dryer and dishwasher;
– use hot water outside peak periods whenever possible.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any reduction in electricity use helps lower the risk of service interruptions in the area.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure rapid response if needed, a Hydro Qu\u00e9bec crew will be on site in the Pontiac, 24 hours a day, throughout the weekend.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hydro Qu\u00e9bec continues to review short term solutions to ease pressure on the regional grid and is already working on long term reinforcements to improve service reliability.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your cooperation. Every effort makes a difference and is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
