Seems there is a power outage in Kitsilano- Macdonald and West 4th are. I saw two new poles lying in my area yesterday. According to @bchydro, crews are working on it. If this was planned, a heads up would have been nice. No shower, no coffee. #vanpoli

So I just discovered that the fastest way to navigate @bchydro's telephone IVR and reach a human when reporting an outage ... is to repeatedly quack like a duck, then press 0 after it drops out to the main menu. I wish I was making this up.

any update on the power outage in the Surrey- Newton area? @bchydro

Good Morning @bchydro please advise power outage V1H 2A2 area and when restoration is expected Currently there is no mention on the website

Imma be so ****** if this planned power outage makes my food go bad… @bchydro updates on your website would be nice too 😭

While there is a local power outage, @KamloopsAirport operations continue while @bchydro works to resolve the issue. All critical systems at #YKA are on back up power which ensures continuity in a power outage. We encourage passengers to monitor their flight status for any delay.

Happy 2025 ! Looks like there is power outage @bchydro in Central Saanich ?

Anyone else affected by the Power Outage the whole Surrey power just went down #Canucks #BCHydro #Vancouver

We are monitoring a power outage impacting Hammond Elementary and Pitt Meadows Secondary. Both schools remain in session for students. We will post an update as soon as one becomes available. For up-to-date information on power outages, visit the BC Hydro outage map at

A power outage in Delta's Boundary Bay area has left hundreds of customers in the dark. #bcstorm @bchydro

keep checking the bc hydro outage map as if thats gonna bring the power back faster

Nothing makes me happier than clicking the BC HYDRO outage site and seeing the status has changed to “crew on site” 👏👏👏👏 It’s been 7 hours……

We have been without power since 6am and have had “crews assigned” on our outage on the Bc hydro map since 10 am. But there are newer outages with less ppl affected that have only been without power a couple hours and crews are already “onsite” like why?

Hi @bchydro , we have power outage on North Burnaby Hastings. 7012 Hastings street. Can you please check

A widespread outage is impacting numerous businesses in Lower Mainland @bchydro #PowerOutage #BCStorm

following the bc hydro page. so many outages. i really cant afford for another outage and to lose the small amount of food i have

There is a planned power outage with BC Hydro this Thursday, Dec, 12 and no orders will go out that day. Please plan accordingly for your stock levels. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Power line down across #BCHwy8 in lower Nicola. Road is closed at the Canco on Aberdeen Rd. BC Hydro is on route. Expect heavy delays. @DriveBC

Hey Aquatic Centre Guests! Please be aware that BC Hydro has scheduled a power outage on November 22nd from 2:00 AM to 7:00 AM. If the outage lasts as long as anticipated, we may need to delay the opening of the Aquatic Centre to complete necessary checks once power is restored.

BC Hydro outage map has gone useless overnight. It's totally inaccurate for my area now. Thousands without power while map says only dozens. According to the map, my street has power, but the hum of gensets says otherwise. #bcstorm

Thank you @bchydro for your effort today and all that's coming. We will use the outage to drink a glass of wine at the candlelight. Good luck tonight and stay safe! #BCStorm

Power is still down @bchydro @WestVanDistrict

POWER OUTAGE Nov. 5: Sayward School CLOSED Sayward School is without power and will be CLOSED today, November 5, 2024. BC Hydro doesn’t have an estimate as to when power will be restored. We apologize for the inconvenience. https://t.co/W4PerQmNZn

#northvan #westvan residents impacted by today's power outage: @BCHydro offers tips for what to do during a power outage, including: ✔️Keep your freezer + fridge doors closed. A full fridge can keep food cold for ~ 4 hours. ✔️Keep heat in by avoiding opening doors and windows.

The wind is causing lots of issues with power right now. All fields are currently available for permitted games but as the high wind continues this may change. Check BC Hydro Outage Map for more details on current issues across our region.

⁦@bchydro⁩ this area had an outage at 9am. Crews were on-site and it was meant to be restored at 1:40pm. Pierre flicked for a millisecond then and went out again. Now no crew is assigned?? Can you please update what is happening https://t.co/nx8CoKP9qT

Hey @bchydro outage at 26100 block of Lougheed Hwy. For once, can you base your response on need as opposed to population. Folks in this area do not have city services! No electricity means no water for things like flushing a toilet. For once, can we be first instead of last?

Thanks for cutting the scheduled power outage 10 minutes earlier than planned @bchydro. Not cool.
