🎉 Happy National Lineworker Appreciation Day! 🙌 Let's take a moment to honour the brave lineworkers who keep our lights on and power flowing. Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and commitment to keeping us connected. We appreciate you! ⚡️
#LineworkerAppreciationDay
We experienced 7 outages in total today (4 in Lasalle and 3 in Amherstburg), 6 of which were caused by problems outside the Essex Powerlines area.
All power has been restored throughout Amhestburg and LaSalle.
Thank you for your patience everyone!
UPDATE:The ON Government has announced that TOU rates have been lowered to the off-peak overnight and weekend rate of 10.1 cents per kWh for the next 45 days for all customers billed on TOU-pricing (residents, farmers, and small businesses) effective today.
We had tons of fun sharing our upcoming green initiatives and discussing other ways to help the environment with the Essex EmPOWERment Girls Group! These young ladies had some great ideas on how to reduce our carbon footprint! 👣🌳🌎
