Power outages update - 11:30 am

Jan 21, 2025

NB Power called on teams from elsewhere in the province to help Edmundston Energy teams restore the outages affecting the Edmundston-North, Saint-Jacques and Saint-Joseph sectors.

Due to the extreme cold, it is VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF EDMUNDSTON, EVEN THOSE WHO HAVE ELECTRICITY, UNPLUG THEIR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, AND TURN OFF THERMOSTATS IN UNUSED ROOMS.

It is also extremely important NOT TO OPERATE GAS GENERATORS AND/OR HOMEMADE STOVES IN YOUR GARAGE OR HOUSE due to the risk of carbon monoxyde poisoning.

The Sports Pavilion Accommodation Center is ready to welcome people who are cold. Before leaving the house, TURN OFF YOUR THERMOSTATS, UNPLUG YOUR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES AND LOCK YOUR DOORS. Rest assured that the Police Force will patrol the territory.
