Guelph Hydro merged with Alectra Utilities on Jan. 1, 2019. We tweet power outage info for Guelph & Rockwood 24/7. For other info follow

We understand this isn’t easy. We were hit with hurricane force winds (120 km/h) that broke many poles across our service areas. We have many downed lines due to fallen tree limbs and debris. All available crews are working to restore power 1/3
Our crews will keep working through the night as quickly – and safely – as possible. We won’t stop until everyone is back up, but some areas may take longer than usual. We want to thank you for your ongoing patience. and understanding. 3/3
The damage is severe and widespread, and the restoration efforts are complex and require time, equipment and other resources. Please rest assured that although you can't see it happening, our crews have been – and continue – working to repair the damage 2/3
We sent 23 crew members to assist
@HydroOne
in restoration efforts in Eastern Ontario following a devastating ice storm this week. Our Powerline Maintainers and a convoy of bucket trucks will help repair extensive damage in the Winchester area.

Thank you for thinking of our crews who work so hard, in all kinds of weather, to keep the power on. We are ready to respond 24/7 in the event of a power outage. Stay safe and warm tonight!
Remember, if you are going to harness the force, make sure you are wearing your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), nobody wants to be hit by some rouge Force Lightning.

We hate ice storms! A build up of ice can bring down tree limbs, causing power outages. Be prepared. Make sure your mobile devices are charged and find those flashlights!
