Customers in localities from Percé to Saint-Maxime-du-Mont-Louis will lose power starting at 5 am, Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
Hydro-Québec spokeswoman Cynthia Rivard explained that the work aims to fix an insulator at the Micmac substation in Chandler.
The device would have been damaged by lightning or wind. If we don’t intervene quickly and the situation worsens, we will talk about the more important work that leads to delays of about ten hours, which we want to avoid at all costs.r, indicates the spokesperson for Hydro-Quebec.
Cynthia Rivard estimates that the effects, Wednesday and Thursday, will be small because the delays are short -lived.
Hydro-Québec advises people to turn off their electronic devices before bed.
If weather conditions do not allow teams to work safely on Wednesday, work will be postponed by one day.
