As the Leafs look to turn the lights off on the Bolt's NHL season, a planned power outage east of the city will be delayed if the playoff game runs late.
Customers in Bowmanville, Ont. and those to the west of the town are expected to be most affected, according to an outage map released by the power company.Game 6 of the Leafs playoff series against the Bolts tonight“We know that Saturday night is an important night for Leafs Nation. In the unlikely event that the game goes into overtime and approaches 11 p.m., Hydro One will delay the start of the outage,” a company spokesperson said in an email.
Saturday night’s game starts at 7 p.m. and, if extra play is required, the eight-hour outage will follow and may run longer than 7 a.m. The outage is the result of planned equipment replacement at Hydro One’s Wilson Transmission Station, allowing for an alternative backup power supply to Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington Nuclear Generating Station in Clarington, Ont.
Hydro One is encouraging customers to turn off all appliances ahead of the outage and to make sure cell phones are fully charged. As well, residents should keep their refrigerator and freezer doors closed for as long as possible in order to avoid spoilage.
