As you are likely aware, we had a power outage earlier this morning. Power went out to almost all of the Yukon grid (except for the Village of Mayo and Keno) at about 3 this morning.
Almost everyone was restored by approximately 5 a.m., except Pelly Crossing and the Minto mine, and they should be back on shortly.
The cause was a generation problem with our largest hydro unit in Whitehorse (what we refer to as the Fourth Wheel) but we are still investigating exactly what went wrong in that unit.
Any questions or comments can be submitted to communications@yec.yk.ca.
