We have had a number of phone calls about this morning's power outage in the Southern Yukon. While it would be best for you to speak with Yukon Electrical Company Limited (YECL) to get the full details, we understand that the outage occurred after a squirrel caused a problem with YECL's equipment in Whitehorse.
Yukon Energy is working with YECL on some changes to the transmission system. The changes will allow the two utilities to limit future outages to small segments of the transmission system instead of impacting the entire grid. We expect this plan to be implemented by the end of this year.
