Prince George, B.C.- There are two  power outages  in the Prince George region, but neither is impacting   more than 5 customers.    One outage is on Fraser Road, the other on Buckhorn Lake road. The real challenge is  in  areas west   and north of Prince George.

In Northern B.C.,  there are  nearly 3500 customers without  service as a result of  yesterday’s wind storm   that ripped  through  the Highway 16 corridor   and  in areas  in the northeast.

Crews continue to work throughout the day to restore those outages from yesterday’s wind storm.

BC Hydro says 2100 customers north of Fort St John will remain out of power until late this afternoon due to a transmission outage.  Areas affected are Prespatou/Milligan Creek/Charlie Lake/Montney and Upper Halfway.
