@bchydro second planned outage cancelled yet again - I had to cancel and reschedule construction work crew again delaying my project yet again. Do better

@adriandix @G_Anderson1 @bchydro The NDP tried to shut down site C and added millions in delays. BC is a net importer of power.

@bchydro Is there an update on the power outage affecting Surrey? Guildford and Johnston Heights?

@bchydro Only outage in all of lower mainland for 2 hours, complete radio silence.

Everytime a power outage happens I am reminded that @bchydro caused my streaming pc to die.

@bchydro power outage in Kitsilano, including 6th avenue

Hello @bchydro how can we report a power outage via phone if we don't have an account? My hydro is included in my rent.

Get a text from a friend asking if my power is out. I check @bchydro outage map, it says my power is out. I rush home to connect my dad’s oxygen concentrator to my neighbours house with the generator so he can breathe & find my whole block has power despite BC Hydros website.

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
